The personal stories and adventures of a nerdy food lover.

About thecookingchook

A thirty-something science nerd who was stuck in the financial services industry but has schemed a way out. Loves to cook but loves to eat food even more. Other things about me: passionate Francophile, life long student, voracious reader, gamer, eclectic taste in TV shows and music, constantly yearns to travel and freaks out over anything cute and fluffy.
