Hey! My name is Carissa Liu (She/Her/Hers), a Jersey girl who’s now calling Los Angeles and Orlando her new homes. Welcome to my food, travel, and personal blog!
I learned that there’s a story that accompanies every bite of food. Even if you live halfway across the world from someone, it’s very likely that you've shared similar food experiences. With cooking comes diverse stories, and living in America has allowed me to build bridges between various cultures through the wide variety of food experiences available here.
Food is one thing that can be transported from country to country. Because my grandma was able to bring her cooking from China, I have been able to enjoy the foods of our culture and learn more about our heritage by living with her.
I’ll be releasing interviews with food establishment owners, recipes for people of all skill levels to follow, stories attached to my favorite eats, and even foodie TV moments. My writing is super informal, so I hope @CarissaEats allows my viewers to casually enjoy food alongside me. To have healthy food on the table, let alone a positive relationship with food, is a privilege, and I do, and will, not take that for granted.
Jersey will forever hold a special spot in my heart, but getting to explore the culinary scenes of two new cities and to meet new food enthusiasts is something I’m incredibly excited about.
See you soon,
Carissa 😊
