22Carrots chats with self-taught vegan chef, Food Network champion, author, TV host and world traveler, Priyanka Naik.
What’s something food-related that you love? Dragon fruit earrings that are
sustainably made. Croissant or baguette lamps, and purses that look like food.
What food event are you most excited about right now? The South Beach Wine and Food Festival in Miami.
What’s something people don’t talk enough about when it comes to food? How food actually makes everyone feel so much more connected.
Tell us something about you that most people don’t know? I am very, very
obsessed with cars. I come from a car loving family. I’ve never missed a New York City auto show in my life. I have a model car collection at my parents’ home. I was more obsessed with cars when I was little than I was with dolls.
Catch Priyanka at FoodieCon® – the first-of-its-kind event celebrating the most influential culinary content creators on February 23 and 24 at Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival.
