About

VANILLA LATTE is a blog dedicated to food & travel with occasional random stuff thrown in. It is managed and written by me, Maggie Ha.

Vanillalatte.com has been around since 2003. It started out as a personal blog but now it’s a dedicated food blog filled with recipes, culinary experiments and gastronomical travel adventures.

I’m a California girl at heart but I currently live in New York City with my lovely boyfriend/taste-tester/biggest critic/number 1 fan. I’ve been a vegetarian for about 15 years but I’m beginning to cook more and more meat for my carnivore boyfriend. I’m not a professional chef by any means, but cooking is a true passion of mine and loving food just runs in my family.

I became a food enthusiast in college when I hosted Tuesday Night Dinners at my apartment for my closest friends. $5 got you a delicious meal, including dessert! Okay so they were not always amazing dishes but that’s what started it all. Once I started cooking, I never really stopped.

So why VANILLA LATTE? Well, it’s my favorite coffee drink. And believe me, it’s often done wrong. I don’t get to drink it very often now a days, but it still remains as my favorite coffee drink. My current daily dose of caffeine comes in the form of a soy latte or cappuccino.

Hope you enjoy the blog! Questions, comments, and suggestions are always welcome!
