Thank you for visiting my website! I'm Maxine—a food blogger, home cook, travel enthusiast, and all-around lover of food and culture. In other words, I’m passionate about fusion cuisine—a style of cooking that blends ingredients and techniques from different countries, regions, and cultures.
My approach is shaped by both Southern African and American influences, reflecting my life experiences and making my recipes diverse and dynamic. I also love traveling and sharing my food adventures with you, from what I ate to where to eat, while discovering new flavors and techniques along the way.

Some of the best pasta in the downtown DC area. Fresh and a wide selection where you can customizes your bowls. They also offer pizza and other Italian treats.

Al Volo has a high standard of food but the atmosphere is very casual and similar to a cafeteria. You can select your pasta, sauce and add protein and toppings so you can create your perfect bowl. The pesto and vodka sauces in particular are very delicious.
