Being a food editor comes with many rewards and constant learning opportunities. A colleague at Food & Wine recommended the wonton soup at Wu’s Wonton King in New York and it’s honestly the best I’ve ever had. Last year I visited an almond orchard in California where I donned a bee suit and learned that without bees we wouldn’t have almonds. A few months ago I went to Parma Italy to tour a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy and sample lots of cheese. (Watch a clip of my tour in the Reel below.)
This trip forever changed the way I buy Parmesan a name synonymous with Parmigiano Reggiano in America. It’s a staple cheese that instantly enhances salads sandwiches casseroles and of course pasta. My fridge is never without it.
