Beginnings ... about me and my first blog

Inspired by my best friend's (and now one of my) favorite websites – chubby hubby – I felt inspired to write up a few notes about my Shanghai eating experiences. I don’t claim to be at all knowledgeable but just an excited reader who enjoys reading food blogs. Plus, it’s an easier way to indulge in my obsession with food, capture the loads of pictures I take, and share an integral part of my year-abroad experience with my friends back home and anyone else interested in dining in Asia (or wherever the winds take me. :))

And for any of those wondering, the name 'Delica Recchiuti' refers to two of my favorite shops (both introduced to me by my best friend!) in one of the most beautiful places in the world - the Ferry Building, San Francisco. Delica is an organic Japanese deli with a fantastic wasabi sweet pea/edamame potato salad; Recchiuti refers to the gourmet chocolate confectioners home of my favorite peanut butter puck truffle. The combination of the two truly epitomizes me - the ultimate health nut and chocolate addict. :)
