Adventures in culinary

My name is Melissa and my blog is about preparing delicious meals at home, experiencing enticing meals at restaurants, culinary related travel, and living and eating around the world. We move around a lot (Brazil, Angola, Nigeria, and who knows where we will be next) so I have an awesome opportunity to experience food around the world. Life is one big adventure!
