Inspired by the dynamic duo of Dr. Roizen and Chef Jim at the Cleveland Clinic, where I interned last summer, I’m embarking on a mission to introduce culinary medicine in an accessible way – through social media. Every Friday, I’ll be sharing a “Functional Foodie” recipe as part of my job as Patient Care Navigator at […]

Chicken soup. Pastina. Noodles. These have been my go-to dishes in times of sickness. When I was dealing with some intense allergies this week, I decided to turn to a new dish, inspired by my Qigong Instructor training: congee. Qigong is an ancient Chinese energetic art based in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). […]
Last fall, I spent my semester remotely, mainly at my grandparents house. Amidst an intense academic course load, my grandparents fueled me in the best way: with food. One of the sure-hit Tuesday-night dinner was my favorite fish, Dorada, with pressure cooker caramelized onion brown rice, and some sort of vegetable side. This could range […]
Is it just me or is the world entering a new renaissance once again? Luckily Firenze is known as the jewel of the Renaissance, and was the city my brother and I reveled in over the summer. During our three day stay, we rounded up several restaurants, but perhaps more importantly, gelaterie. Off we go! […]
After three years, I have finally returned to the Motherland: Italy. My 10 days in Italy were filled with family – including meeting the newest addition and my love, Noah (above) – and naturally, many many delicious eats. Throughout my time away, I’ve been recreating Italian dishes, from my go-to dinner of spaghetti aglio e […]
This summer, I had the most incredible experience. After blind calling the Cleveland Clinic’s Integrative Medicine department back in January, I was lucky enough to experience an internship with them, and through that, explore Cleveland. Admittedly, I used to hold a limited attitude on the Midwest, particularly Ohio. While joyous over the Cleveland Clinic, I […]
This semester, I took a class called “Cities and Food” as part of my Nutrition minor. An anthropological class at heart, one of our assignments was to write field notes on a food provisioning experience. Luckily, I had a reservation at one of my favorite restaurants (possibly ever). Enjoy! A friend’s birthday called for a […]

An anthropological class at heart, one of our assignments was to do a “thick description” of Boston’s Public Market and Haymarket. This included taking field notes, talking to vendors, and soaking up the scene. Read below for my theatrical […]
