About Us
Caviar and Crayons finds its roots in the love for food. Amy (who has lived the span of the continent from Alaska, to Hawaii, Seattle, Florida and more) is a culinary chameleon with a taste for pleasantly palatable wanderlust. From elevated recipes, to adventures in food (and otherwise), Caviar and Crayons is an ode to how food, experiences and life shape the food we love and how it becomes so embedded into our sense of the world.
