About Us

Cuisine Seeker is a website roaming from simple food-related questions to deep-diving into the most niche of food geek topics. We have articles on everything from what pili nuts taste like, to whether or not blasting chicken skin with a hairdryer makes it crispy (hint: yep, it does).

We are excited and curious about the wonderful array of ingredients around the world and hope to share this with you, too. Whether you’re a new home cook or a pro chef, we hope you find something you like on our menu of articles.
