Recently, I’ve come to realize how important having “bucket lists” can be! These lists can help a person focus on their goals, encourage them to try something new or even give that person direction when they don’t know where to go from here.
That being said, I’ve decided to start my Culinary Bucket List! Travel and food are a huge part of my life. In addition to my promise to give everything a shot (see the sea cucumber below), I think that this list will help me explore more and become more skilled in the kitchen!

A quick note: it seemed redundant to include things that I’ve already done! This list only includes new-to-me items. As for the recipes, I have to be able to make them from scratch to cross them off my list. I’m excited to see this list change as I cross things off and add to it!
