Trannies can cook too!
Once upon a time in 2008, I graduated from Cal a year early and rushed into a one year master’s program at the University of Cambridge. I found myself extremely disenchanted with the local food scene, and what was once a capricious interest in cooking became my only source of happiness. I began photographing what I was cooking as a respite from my otherwise dreary existence as a pawn lodged in the depths of a crumbling academic behemoth populated by flesh-eating (futures trading) robots. I also began photographing everything I ate during my few visits to the US, to preserve the very best memories from my life that year — those times when I was eating good food. My then bf PH suggested I start a blog so that my photos might have a place to live (that wasn’t owned by Mark Fuckerberg).
As of June 2009, this tranny has moved back to the Bay Area, the place where she first learned what good food was.

Hey, Tranny!
