Here at EventUp - our entire team has a background in the hospitality industry. We all started our careers working in restaurants, hotels, and even in the catering department at a prestigious private high school. Working with high-quality cuisine from an early start has turned us all into home chefs and foodies.
According to Wikipedia, a foodie is a person who has an ardent or refined interest in food and who eats food not only out of hunger but due to their interest or hobby and is passionate about food.
As a team, we have been sharing recipe ideas, cookbooks, and even Instagram posts with each other to keep our meal ideas fresh and the competition strong. Here is our list of cookbooks that we have been consistently using and loving to inspire your next meal at home.
