Hello and welcome to our blog! My name is Paige and I am the main gal bringing you the savory content. My husband Ian will also be on this delicious adventure with me (hence the messy aprons). We are food lovers and are always craving new meals to try. Being Mainers we enjoy spending our time outdoors whether it be going for a hike, shooting photography, or camping out of our rig.
I have always been curious about new foods. Ever since I was in high school when I start to exclusively eat gluten free (haha that didn’t stick) to improve my health I have been experimenting with new alternatives and flavors. Growing up I had my parents who both are great in the kitchen introducing me to their favorite meals, but come to find out once I got out on my own I hadn’t tried A LOT of foods. Ian also brought this to my attention with his background as a line cook in a Greek-Italian restaurant (hit the jack pot!). So long story short I always want to try new things and have new savory experiences. What better way to achieve this than making food from each and every country around the globe? I hope these new flavors satisfy your wanderlust like it will mine!
Well Pinterest and I go way back.. let’s just say recently I have been spending a lot of time gaining inspiration and ideas searching about each country and discovering their national dishes. To help give me a sense of direction on what country comes next I have been able to use Random Country to feed me a countries I add to a very long list to form an itinerary. Some weeks I will be spending all my time in one country such as Australia or Mexico since there are so many recipes and the country is so vast. We also will take more time and research with countries that make up our ancestral roots. Most of the time, we will be doing one dish per country. With the goal of completing four each week we will be posting these experiences, recipes, and a little history on each meal. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do and maybe get inspired yourself!
Are you craving more? You can reach us at themessyaprons@gmail.com with any questions, suggestions, or thoughts! We would love to hear from you if we have cooked a dish that is near and dear to your heart.
