The Girl Behind the Blog

Name: Alexandra Sordi Location: Charleston, SC From: North Haven, CT

Everything I know about food, I learned from my mom. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always spent time in the kitchen helping her cook and bake. My most fond memories are made from getting ready for the holidays. There are many lists, messes and memories made in the kitchen during these times. Today you can find me in my own kitchen experimenting with new recipes or on the phone with my mom asking for some of the family favorites.

When people ask me what I do for fun, I say I cook. There’s nothing like spending hours in a kitchen cooking something so yummy and nourishing for your body. This blog is a reminder to me, to always be creative and a place I get to share my favorite recipes.

Besides cooking my favorite things to do are spend time with friends and family, visit my favorite places in Charleston, go to the beach, hang by the pool, check out local breweries and restaurants, play games and read.

if you were to find me anywhere in Charleston, I’d probably be at Isle of Palms, Mex 1 Coastal Cantina, Home Team, Magnolia Plantation, Historic Downtown or walking, running, biking around my neighborhood in West Ashley.

All recipes are original recipes, unless stated otherwise.

My Diet

In order to keep my body healthy, I focus on what food keeps my body happy. I’ve learned over the years what foods my body is sensitive to, are harder for me to digest and which ones make me feel more energized. Due to my discoveries, I cook and eat a gluten and dairy sensitive diet. All my meal plans and recipes are designed for the everyday person but you can find gluten-free and dairy-free modifications at the bottom of every recipe.

My Mantras

Do pretty things. Eat pretty food.

Nothing is too pretty to eat.
