Hello! I'm Amy. I started my career as a graphic designer, then took on the role of a stay-at-home mom, and eventually became a food writer and photographer. It’s pretty amazing to think that I went from working in the music industry, having little knowledge about cooking, and relying on potato chips for dinner, to running a well-loved food website that attracts millions of visitors each month. Can you believe it? It's true! And it's an incredible journey for me, and I hope it becomes a delightful experience for you too!
