ABOUT ME
Hi I’m Anisha – The Food Loving Traveler Behind MinneCravings
If you’re someone who plans your day around what to eat next, you’ve just found the right place. Welcome to MinneCravings — a food and travel blog that celebrates flavors from around the world and hidden gems right here in Minnesota.
My Story: From Manchester to Minnesota
I grew up in a small town just outside Manchester, UK, and later moved to London to study Accounting and Finance. My first job was with a global hospitality brand, where I worked in finance and got an inside look at an industry fueled by culture, experience, and — of course — amazing food.
Living in London was a dream for a foodie like me. I spent weekends exploring buzzing food markets, trying global cuisines, and soaking in the city’s rich culture.
Moving to Minnesota: Where It All Came Together
Growing up, I was fortunate enough to travel to many destinations with my parents, who introduced me to life outside the UK and the joys of traveling. In 2023, I moved to Minnesota, where everything really clicked. I married my husband, Amrish, my life and travel partner, and began traveling even more. This new chapter rekindled my love for food in a deeper way — not just as something to eat but as something to create, share, and crave. Cooking and baking became my creative outlet, and I started discovering local spots that excited my palate as much as the food I grew up loving.
Meet My Travel Buddy
Since 2021, Amrish and I have been traveling together — from European city breaks and U.S. road trips to our honeymoon across Bangkok, Singapore, and the Maldives.
We started out long-distance, which meant making the most of every visit. Now, we prioritize exploring together — always hunting for the best places to eat and unforgettable experiences to share.
Our Favorite Travel Memory
One of our most surreal moments? Scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. We swam among vibrant marine life and touched the reef — a memory we’ll carry forever.
Why I Started MinneCravings
MinneCravings is where my two favorite things meet: food and travel. Whether I’m trying out a new recipe, dining at a local restaurant, or exploring a new destination, I believe food is the best way to connect with a culture.
This blog is my way of helping you do the same — to discover new flavors, plan your next travel adventure, or simply find joy in the everyday.
