- Visiting France and reading Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” were the reasons that made Corina want to become a food writer. She tried her hand at most of the recipes in the book, but she became enchanted with boeuf bourguignon and quiche lorraine.
- An avid cheese lover, Corina discovered that she is lactose intolerant in 2019 and had to learn to substitute everything dairy. She misses her days of wandering Swiss cheese shops, though.
