Amuse-Bouche

Calling all food lovers! 

As you might have already grasped, my name is Rhiana (pronounced like the singer but in no way does a similar name pronunciation mean I can sing a single note.) The gods have failed to grant me the voice of an angel, instead they bestowed upon me a nail curling belt and glorious cackle; which I'm perfectly happy with.

To introduce myself a little, let me start by saying (if you have not already figured out) I love food, but more importantly, I love the food industry. Having gone to school for Baking and Pastry and then continuing on to learn about marketing, I have had my eyes opened to a wide variety of jobs within this industry that are more than what they seem, hence why I called my blog:  'Food for Thought- What's outside the box?'

I chose this quirky little (long) name because it encompasses a wide variety of passions. Meaning, when you look at food, what catches your attention? Is it the compilation of eye-catching adornments with interesting shaped vessels that hold the sustenance you crave? Even further beyond that, do you ever stop to think of where the delicious little morsel you are about to ingest originated? Was it grown or was it created? I don't know about you but I have never seen cardboard boxes or shiny plastic wrapping grown from the soil beneath our feet. For me, all of this is important. At times one wins out over the other, but in the end its like choosing between peanut butter or jelly; you can't really have one without the other. 

But enough with my silly ramblings, I am here to say welcome and Bon Appétit!
