My name is Rémy, and I’m a teenager who adores writing about great food almost as much as she adores eating it. This is a food blog in every sense of the word. Verbs: review, critique, gush, analyze, reflect, crave, create, muse.
One day, I’ll be paid to eat food and write about it. Until then, I’m a teenager, a college student with a paltry budget, and lacking in even a bachelor’s degree to qualify my writing to boot. This site is by no means a place for professional-quality restaurant reviews, infallibly unbiased input, or sage insight as to which wines to pair with what (although one day, I hope this site will grow to that). For now, it’s a playground where I can express and fine-tune my love for food writing. Why on a blog? Because food is my passion, and I’m daily inspired by hearing of other people’s passions and sharing my own. In short, then, this blog is an outlet as well as a growing tool, but it’s also an invitation for you to join me in my gourmet gallivants.
My philosophy is this: truly, food should never be easily forgotten. What it all comes down to is that I’m a bit of an epicurean; I delight in food as an art form, not as a necessity, and take joy in it even at its simplest (because the way I see it, Slice & Bake is a wildly underestimated culinary novelty). I have a budding obsession with gremolada and hoard artisan chocolates to a degree that some consider extreme — I consider it a healthy and necessary indulgence. I compiled my first cookbook at the age of 9, as a gift to my dad since I was utterly sick of the steak he threw in my direction everyday. Sometimes I am seized by a carnal desire to bake; my life is a whirlwind of cupcakes and ganache. It’s always worth having dessert before dinner, in my opinion.
If you want to chat, shoot me an email at passionfruitbutter [at] gmail [dot] com. I’d love to be in touch about anything and everything! I also welcome feedback in comment form, and while I constantly keep your suggestions and opinions in mind (please, do send them along; I’m always looking for ways to improve), please understand that I’m more likely to heed your criticism if it’s worded constructively.
Thank you, and I’m so glad you’re here!
