About the blog
Welcome to the new Leena Eats This Blog. Food, travel and gastronomy 5 days a week, brought to you by the future first food writer for Rolling Stone. If you hate killer food porn & recipes, humor, food history or things that rock, you’re in the wrong place, buddy. Go eat some bacon.
The blog was originally created as a way to document Leena’s time in Australia (where she earned a masters in gastronomy from the University of Adelaide) for friends and family members back in Chicago. After graduation, Leena and her blog moved back to Chicago for a tasty but arctic year. These days, you can find her in warmer San Francisco, eating, writing and teaching cooking classes.
