Experience
Cooking and writing have been Iva's passion ever since she can remember. One of her biggest joys is sharing her creations with loved ones and connecting with people all over the world through food. Her lifelong obsession with creating recipes led to her starting her own food blog, which she uses to share her love for nutritious and easy-to-make recipes. Before joining the Daily Meal news team, Iva worked in the social media and content creation industry. Soon after, she made the decision to pursue and combine the two things she loves most: food and writing.
