As you may or may not know, I am not only a lover of culinary greatness but also a science nut. I’m a microbiologist by day and a food lover-home cooker-blogger by night (and weekends). Yes, I study bacteria.

Where the worlds of food and microbiology collide is often where you’ll find me. Bacteria plays a huge role in farming, cooking, fermentation, health and food safety (among many other food-related topics).

Food and science may be more closely linked than you realize! Let’s get nerdy!
