 Hi, I'm Alexandra. Born in Brazil, Canadian by choice, and having lived in exciting Barcelona for a year between 2006 and 2007, my earliest childhood memories revolve around food and food is what I remember most about every place I’ve ever lived. After writing a more general blog for the past few years, it was time to organize my writing about food in one place. © All pictures on this blog are taken by me unless otherwise noted.
