Hi Naughties! I'm Sami :) and I’m the founder of The Naughty Fork, a popular culinary platform that has gained a dedicated following for its blend of gourmet food, food culture, and cooking of fun and innovative dishes. My goal? To bring together a community of food lovers who can bond over delicious eats and creative cooking!

 

My journey in the culinary world really took off thanks to my passion for food and a little bit of social media magic. I started my journey in college while pursuing a pre-med track, but I needed a creative outlet to balance the constant studying. Creating The Naughty Fork was a fun outlet to enjoy while not fully immersed in my studies. It started as a fun food blog where I reviewed meals around my college campus as a way to share my love for food and connect with others. 

 

As The Naughty Fork gained traction and my Instagram following soared, I recognized the true potential for this to evolve into a successful career. And so, The Naughty Fork became my full-time focus—a leap of faith that I'm not sure many believed was the right choice. But here we are 10 years later.

 

 

The response from my followers was overwhelmingly positive, and the shift from restaurant coverage to home-cooked content truly elevated The Naughty Fork to the next level. Now I am cooking in my kitchen every day and creating fun and relatable recipes for you all. Whether through viral recipes, food challenges, or collaborations with other influencers, I can’t wait to continue this food journey with you!
