My name is Lauren and I'm the creator of Maritime Glutton. I'm a 27 year old food lover, professional photographer and marketer by day. I majored in Accounting with a minor in Psychology. I'm a professional photographer who focuses on restaurant, wedding and business branding photography and am the Marketing and Communications Manager for the Moncton Wildcats. Previously, I worked for Tourism New Brunswick as a SEO & Web Content Strategist. In my spare time, you can find me testing recipes, taking photos, going hiking or spending time with my friends and my favourite golden retriever Rosie.
Maritime Glutton: Roots
I created Maritime Glutton in early 2017 as an Instagram page. The idea was to have a way to share the foods that I was making on a dedicated platform. Creating Maritime Glutton also acted as encouragement for me to try to learn more about cooking and expand my culinary knowledge.
For a few years, I had made a challenge to myself to only eat foods out that I had never tried before - so if I wanted something out I would expand my tastes, and if I was craving something, I would have to learn to try and create it myself. I no longer follow this rule, but it helped me grow an incredible curiosity around food that has fueled the creativity of Maritime Glutton.
Maritime Glutton has since grown from just what I cook at home to including visits to local restaurants throughout Atlantic Canada as well as a few "guest visits" to restaurants wherever I travel. Since the beginning of this project, I have learned about many different cooking techniques, foods from different cultures and grown a sizable cookbook collection. Maritime Glutton transitioned from an Instagram page to a dedicated website in July of 2020.
