Food + Culture

Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated with culture. I grew up in a small town in Missouri and most of my childhood was spent in a car traveling the United States. I have so many unique memories with my family of the towns we would visit and the food we would eat.

Here I am talking about Culture and food... drinking an Icee 

The two were always connected for me, when we would travel one of the biggest perks was trying new types of food. As I grew and our travels extended over oceans, I began to realize that food and culture are interrelated and I could learn a great deal about people, a region, or a country through their culinary roots.

After I graduated from UCLA I began working as a Producer in LA and decided that I wanted to travel, and continue learning. So with the help of Bakers Man Productions and the Taiwan Tourism Bureau, me and a crew traveled to Taiwan for 16 days and we had the biggest adventure of our lives. We met so many incredible people who welcomed us with open arms, tasted some of the most exquisite food on this earth, saw some of the most beautiful natural wonders (that I may have never heard of if it weren't for this trip), and experienced the very best Taiwan had to offer.

This is currently being turned into a television series, but until then, I want you to come on this journey with me to....

Yours,
Rachael
