The Beginning of the End

As graduation approaches, I look forward to ending my senior year with a project unlike any other. The concept of creating a magazine about something I hold so dearly thrills me. What I have envisioned so far appears at times overwhelming and at others purely inspiring. Ultimately, however, the idea of combining two of my favorite things, cooking and photography, sounds ideal to me. From the moment I decided to do a magazine, I was convinced it would be related to gastronomy.
 I've been inspired by Instagram accounts such as @deliciousmartha and @sweetambs.



My only concern at the moment is what exactly the focus of the magazine will be. While I wish that the Sweet Escape could encompass all types of cuisines, I think I should specify what type of food it is that I am going to feature. Given that I adore all things sweet, it wouldn't surprise me to go with desserts, but for now, I am undecided. I invite you to channel your inner chef and follow me as I embark on this journey of stained aprons, succulent entrées, baked goods, and well...love in large servings! 

To briefly articulate the significance of this topic to me, I include the wise words of Elsa Schiaparelli below:

“Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.”
