Hello friends!
I am so excited to have you here. My name is Andrea. I was born and raised in the Czech Republic. I have been living in Dallas, TX, in the United States since August of 2010.
My husband Tim and I have been married since 2011, and we have two daughters and little Shih Tzu pup.
MY COOKING JOURNEY
I have always loved cooking. I remember helping my mom and grandmothers ever since I was a little girl. My mom and both grandmothers are excellent cooks and bakers and they truly inspired me in my cooking journey. Being raised in a small town in the Czech Republic, we used to grow our own fruit and vegetables, followed by canning of pickled fruits and veggies as well as making homemade jams and working hard during the harvest.
As a kid I did not appreciate it and found it quite annoying to be honest. Now, as grown up women and mother of two little girls, I appreciate real wholesome food. My dream is to have a little garden with a green house and some fruit trees and shrubs so we can grow our on food as well. I would describe my cooking style as being simple, easy to follow recipes. I like to make and bake simple recipes which are delicious and beautiful.
CREPES AND BOWS
I started Crepes and Bows for fun on Instagram and never intended for it to become a blog but the more recipes I shared, the more positives feedback I received from readers.
I have also fallen in love with food styling and food photography since starting @crepesandbows. I work full time as a senior project manager at market research agency and food styling and photography is my creative outlet.
