Hi, my friends, and welcome!
My name is Kameryn, but you may know me as Kam from Kamsplate! Somehow, you have found your way from my Instagram to here, and I am so happy you did!
Things to expect from this blog:
Documentation of my recipes and other good eats.
Travel tips and recommendations with food spots that cannot be skipped.
Details about the Supper Clubs I host.
Life updates and random stuff I do as a 20-something-year-old figuring it all out.
I am 23, almost 24, and I was born, raised, and educated in beautiful sunny San Diego, California. I love the sun and the rain, a nice green hill to lie on, a flaky croissant, and some stanky cheese. There isn’t an olive I’ve met that I didn’t like. Animals are better than people, and I wish they could talk. In my free time, I cook and feed the people I love. My favorite place to eat is outside in nature. I travel often and have no money to do so (C'est la vie). My travels typically consist of beautiful architecture, wandering city streets, natural wonders, and every pastry I can find. I am passionate about human rights and freedom for all. I believe there is a higher power of some kind. I also believe in science. I love the ocean and being underwater.
I truly am just a normal girl who wants to eat a lot of good food and yap about it.

A little more about me: (extended version)
I received a BS in Human Development and Global Health at UCSD, where I also captained the women’s soccer team. I graduated a little over a year ago and moved home with full-hearted intentions of pursuing a career as a Nurse Midwife.
My whole life, my dad has told me that no matter what I do, I just need to do it FULLY. No “one-foot-in-one-foot-out bullsh!t.” When people ask my FAVORITE question: “What are your career goals?” I explain, “ I am going back to school to become a midwife, but my real dream is to be a food blogger, traveling the world through food and culture.” I call this my selfish dream job because I never thought it would be my reality. I never thought my hobby of cooking would break the four walls of my family home, and I sure as heck never thought other people would pay me to cook for them! How nuts would that be, right?!?!?
But sometimes, the universe has a mind of its own. I started working as a private chef a few months ago. Which still feels so crazy to me!
Currently, I am cooking weekly for two families and catering summer dinner parties. I have a WHOPPING 420 followers on my Instagram, and I am writing a blog about my life and my love for food, travel, and flavor. I don’t know where this blog will take you or me; I don’t know where anything is going. I don’t know about a lot of things in my life. All I can do is cook one meal at a time. So, channeling my inner Carrie Bradshaw, this blog will be a living, breathing place where I share all my exciting adventures to come!
