hi, i’m arica jackson morgan. i’ve been madly in love with food. and hooked to the stove since the tender age of 4. since then i’ve had the pleasure of  enjoying amazing home cooks ,working in restaurant kitchens, undergo extensive culinary training and travel to far away places to appreciate substance in as many ways as possible.

you will find my cooking style is all over the place. no one who has asked “whats your favorite dish” has gotten a straight answer out of me. this is because i can never settle on just one cuisine. makes it more interesting right?!

i’ve spent the past 13 years passionately cooking and the past 5, working, growing a family, another business all while cooking, along the way. this is my creative outlet to share the beautiful cuisines i’ve explored in culinary arts, restaurant kitchens, family experiences, markets, the garden and through travel.

one thing i want to live by is; never. stop. learning! i’m looking forward to learning and sharing with the many chefs across the web, cook (and eat lol) my way to amazing sustenance.

what you will find is that the recipes i share will lean heavy on the healthier side-about a good 80/20 healthy to indulgent. because health is wealth right? you should’t have to compromise flavor for wholesomeness.. 

the word of food is ever-expanding and always looking to be explored. my mission is to develop recipes, teach and expand your culinary horizons as i continue to broaden my own. welcome to the culinary adventures of beyond a foodie! look forward to recipes for a number of cultures, eating styles and diets. use the categories section or the search bar to find what best suits your needs. the baf site is updated weekly. sign up for the email list to get new recipes directly to your inbox!
