Taro Bubble Tea

  • Who is The Teenage Gourmet?

    I'm . . . no longer a teenager! I'm a 20-year-old girl from Kentucky who loves to experiment with food. This blog is about new recipes and products.

Home Again

I have absolutely no idea what I’ve cooked in the past 5 months.  I can tell you that I’ve made cookies on more than 5 occasions, and eaten out more than I have in the past 5 years combined.  I’ve hijacked my friend’s apartment kitchen 5 times exactly.  For the first time in at least … Continue reading →

College Life

College isn’t conducive to blogging.  At all.  Now that I’m a few weeks in, I’ve created a mater plan (with the help of my fellow UVa food blogger)!  My plan is to photograph and review the several dining halls on Grounds, with the help of my friends.  Hopefully this venture will be entertaining to you, … Continue reading →
