About Alicia

My photo
After countless readings from food writers such as Elizabeth Gilbert, MFK Fisher, and Ruth Reichl, I learned how to write about food. Yet, after traveling through Italy all summer, I learned to appreciate food, and by doing so, I learned how to live again. I learned how to live by learning how to eat. I learned to appreciate the little things in life from the ground up. In Italy, life is centered around food. It is all about getting back to the basics. Walking to school. Reading a wrist watch. Holding an actual paper book. Writing with pen and paper. Americans have become lost in the techno-savvy and fast-paced society. We say it's hard for us to find "good, healthy food." It's not. It's just looking in the right places and having the curiosity and patience to rediscover food all over again. Italians eat food religiously. They dare not break the rules. Food revives one's body from the inside out. It's emotional and social. In order to renew one's heart and learn to live again, one must learn to eat - all of which starts with getting back to the basics.

Country Music Star is Now Cooking



NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Country music star officially turned to the kitchen in April where she succeeded in her first season of her cooking show Trisha's Southern Kitchen, now starting its second season this fall. 

According to foodnetwork.com, Trisha Yearwood has won three Grammy Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards, three Country Music Association honors and 19 top 10 singles. She has written two best-selling cookbooks: Oklahoma Kitchen and Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood. Trisha's Southern Kitchen is on Food Network and has just started its second season. 

In an interview with Nancy Durham of ourstage.com, Yearwood said, "For me, cooking is very connected to my family and friends. Every recipe on the show carries wonderful memories with my loved ones... I really see this asa tribute to my mom."  

Lauren Jean, a fan of Yearwood's music and food, said, "I love Trisha Yearwood. Always have, always will. She's country alright, a perfect blend of the south in one strong, southern woman." 

Yearwood is from Monticello, GA. She has a home in Owasso, Okla. and a home in Nashville, Tenn. with her husband Garth Brooks and his three daughters. 

Jean said, "Her food is as good as her music. And if you know her music, then you know that's saying something."
