MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Christina Bello comes from a family with a long history with food—growing, cooking, eating, and sharing. Cooking locally and seasonally has become both her passion and her daily bread, while her adventurous appetite has taken her around the country and abroad to learn what local, seasonal cooking tastes like elsewhere. When her passion escapes the bounds of her kitchen, she can be found outside learning to grill something new, at the farmers market doing a happy dance at the first sour cherry sighting, trading homemade jams and tarts at a Chicago Food Swap, or tending to her baby tomatoes at PGP’s Edgewater garden. Her writing, recipes, and photography can be found on her blog, My Homespun Home.
