About Me

At the North Carolina Arboretum

Hi I’m Grace Stewart, and I've been blogging since January 2019! I'm married and a mom to my fur baby, Toby, and culinary exploration and adventure are two of my greatest passions!  

I am based in San Antonio, Texas, and here at ExploreCookEat I share recipes and travel experiences aimed at inspiring YOU to cook and taste dishes from around the world.

Here you will find a variety of recipes, including international cuisines and regional specialties.

I also share my personal culinary journey titled the "1,000 Foods to Eat Project," where I explore and share recipes of dishes listed in Mimi Sheraton's book, "1,000 Foods To Eat Before You Die."

My approach to food blogging is rooted in my desire to bring the world to my kitchen, and my goal is to make diverse cuisines accessible and enjoyable for you!

I maintain an active presence on social media, where I love to engage with my readers and where I share additional content. If you're into social media, I'd absolutely love if you joined me at:

  • Facebook
  • Pinterest
  • Instagram - I typically post to my stories daily where I try new recipes from around the world! Hopefully you will be inspired to try something new from my stories!

And I'm on YouTube as well, where I post videos related to my culinary adventures and recipes.

I invite you to sign up for emails so that you never miss a recipe! Sign up here!

By the way most of these recipes are Toby taste tested and Toby approved!!

Cheers!

Hi I’m Grace Stewart! I'm married and a mom to my fur baby, Toby, and food and travel are two of my greatest passions!  Since our bank account does not allow us to travel or eat out as much as we'd like, I decided I would cook delicious meals that could give us a taste of all the places we'd like to go.  My goal is to get you in the kitchen, and inspire you to cook and taste delightful meals that will transport you too.
