About

Hey there!

I’m Amanda (aka Manz).

It can easily be said that from a very young age, food has had a huge impact on my life. For me, food is larger than life, and it is so much more than just nutrition.  It’s a cultural experience, and since I can remember, food has always been about gathering with others and getting to know each other on a deeper level.

I created “Gourmanz”, to capture my love for at-home cooking, travel, and mindfulness, with a focus on appealing and achievable cooking that will bring joy and wellbeing to your life. My goal is to bring delectable cuisine to you through social media. You too, can learn to create, and enjoy every morsel, anywhere, and anytime!

So, welcome to my world of food, and dive into GourManz!  Explore my journey, passion and my brand partnership work, book an intimate cooking class, and connect to collaborate on future work projects.
