Ever wonder why heartbreak tastes like ice cream or why joy smells like cinnamon rolls at your abuela’s house? Welcome to the emotional buffet where every bite tells a story.
Food and emotions are more tangled than a plate of spaghetti on a first date. From comfort foods that ease our stress to celebratory meals that amplify our joy, what we eat is never just about calories or cravings—it’s often about coping, connection, and comfort.

Whether you eat when you’re sad, celebrate with sweets, or lose your appetite during stress, this journey will help you understand the emotional whispers behind every bite.
