About Me

Hi, I’m Sherry Downer, a passionate foodie and traveler who incorporates flavors from around the world into healthy and delicious recipes for busy cooks.

I love to travel and learn about other people and cultures, especially their food, ingredients, techniques and traditions. Exploring and using the flavors of different regions and countries in my cooking at home transports me to that place when I cannot be there in person. I am also passionate about eating healthy, and strive to use organic, seasonal, locally produced whole food ingredients whenever possible, often from the local farmer’s market or my own garden. The food we eat has a significant effect on our health and happiness. As a lawyer, wife and mother, I look for ways to save time and make healthy and delicious meals in the least amount of time possible. TheTasteTraveler is my way of sharing what I have learned and hopefully inspiring you to eat healthy and explore other cultures, starting with your tastebuds.
