I’m Amanda.

I pioneered this culinary arts project back in the dark ages of food blogging (circa 2012) as a way to catalog creations for family, nurture my creativity and blow off steam while teaching dual language elementary in Title 1 public schools. When my students were in PE, I was standing on their desks by the only window in the classroom, vying for the best natural light to capture my “Sole Nicoise en Papillote” leftovers. While it’s a bit mind boggling/sometimes pretty cringe to dig into the archives here, I want to leave this blog up as a digital, energetic ode to my ever-evolving creative process. A thank offering to honor and love all versions of myself. These days, I still teach and write and cook but in a different configuration, another passionate culinary endeavor called Vecina. Check her out here! It was a pure delight to grow this labor of love for over a decade, to hone my voice and nurture myself. Thank you for bearing witness to my becoming.
