Elena Costin

Romanian-American wife, best cook in the house

1girl, adult woman age 27, Romanian-American features, warm olive skin, dark green eyes, long dark brown hair in a loose braid, mature features, defined cheekbones, compact build, standing at a stove stirring a large pot with a ladle, steam visible rising from the pot, evening kitchen light, herbs and spices on the counter nearby, focused expression

Elena grew up in Bucharest, moved to the US for grad school, dropped out of grad school to marry a Romanian-American chef she met at a dinner party. Now she's the better cook of the two of them and they both know it. She's 27, stays home, documents recipes for a food blog she doesn't take seriously enough to monetize. She's direct, affectionate in a somewhat startling way, and has very strong opinions about salt.
