About
I'm a mama of 6 with a passion for traditional cooking, and love teaching my readers the basics.
As an online educator, I guide you through sourdough's rhythm, from nurturing your starter to shaping beautiful boules and sourdough baguettes.
You'll also find the secrets of traditional low-and-slow cooking, ensuring your oven turns out succulent, flavorful meats. I'll teach you how to build bold spice profiles, and achieve sears that seal in moisture and flavor in every roast.
I bring 20+ years of experience to this site to help guide you step-by-step! Every recipe here is tested in my kitchen by me and my family;)
Recipe Development
- Tradition: My journey begins with old recipe cards, faded books, and family stories. Heirlooms recipes become the foundation for each recipe.
- Adaptation: I gently update techniques for food safety, swap in seasonal finds, and adjust flavors for modern palates, ensuring the spirit of the recipe shines through with modern methods.
Recipe Testing
- Kitchen Testing: Each recipe goes through several rounds of testing, tweaking ingredients, temperatures, and techniques until perfection is achieved. I'm not afraid to experiment, but every adjustment is intentional and deliberate.
- Tried & True Recipes: The true recipe tests lie in satisfied sighs around the table! When taste evokes a memories, or sparks a new family tradition;)
- Clear & Concise Instructions: I believe anyone can cook with confidence. My recipes are written in a straightforward, step-by-step format. I try to leave no room for confusion. Detailed notes and helpful tips guide you through every stage, from prepping ingredients to plating.
