Welcome to The Lushfork

My name is Melissa, and I currently live in Oakland, California. My background is in architecture and interior design, but I'm also passionate about literature, travel, and food.

I like to experiment with flavors, using clean ingredients to create recipes that are healthy but still taste indulgent. Contrary to popular belief, meatless dishes can still be flavorful and filling.

I’m always inspired by my travel experiences and the foods I’ve tried in new places. I take those memories with me and go back to them when researching new dishes.

I hope these recipes inspire you to try something new!
