        p Hi, there! I'm Garrett Mills. I'm a software engineer with a passion for food.

        p Growing up in the United States, I have a very western-centric exposure to food. Over the past few years, I've started exposing myself to an increasingly broad range of international cuisine -- especially through my own cooking.

        p The biggest challenge I've run into is just how immense the world of food is, which can make it hard to <i>decide on</i> new cuisines to try. World Plate Adventures is my attempt to better do this.

        p The premise behind WPA is simple: each month, my partner Faith and I will choose a new country and spend a few days researching the food. Then, each week of the month I'll cook a new dish from that country.

        p My hope is that this will provide some much needed direction for my learning journey, and will help me discover even more cuisines. As you might imagine, this is a <i>very</i> long-term project.
