Welcome to Exposed Eats with Yejin, where you’ll probably learn way too much information on the state of my mind, heart, and soul, all through the lens of cooking and eating. As someone with (what can be considered) an unhealthy obsession with productivity, achievement, fulfillment, and passion, I harbor behavioral quirks and anxieties that have probably served me at some point in my life, but now only drive me and my loved ones bonkers. Cooking, eating, and food, in general, offer me (and maybe you) the possibility of intellectually and corporeally transforming my body and mind so that I can achieve better balance in my life. As a practice of love and public vulnerability, I’m sharing this food- and thought-filled journey with you.
