| Introduction | Layla’s obsession with food started early; growing up in Michigan, Tunisia, the Congo, France, Scotland, and Indonesia, she counts escargots and foie gras among her first memorable meals. Her beverage of choice is a glass of rosé (no surprise there!) and nothing makes her swoon more than a luxurious plate of pasta or a freshly baked pain au chocolat. The sweetest assignment she’s ever been on was a cross-town trek in search of NYC’s best pie for Food Network UK’s blog. She writes restaurant profiles and covers food trends for CityEats, and has also contributed to Our Town Downtown and New York City's Crowdsourced Dessert Guide (BiblioCrunch). She also loves to cook. Most Sundays, she whips up a batch of beef stew and fresh baked Yorkshire pudding, much to her English husband’s delight. When she’s not eating or cooking, she's documenting her food adventures (a pen and a camera are always on hand). She takes pride in creating lush prose of the perfect meals she discovers, waxing poetic on wine and cocktails, or musing about food trends. She's also working on a memoir.
