Hi, I’m Natalie!
Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m a professionally-trained chef, culinary instructor and recipe developer. A career change and a trip through culinary school 20 years ago led me to a career doing my very favorite thing: making food and cooking approachable to all home cooks.
Whether you’re a beginner in the kitchen or a seasoned cook, you’re in the right place! Let’s tie on an apron, turn up the music, and get cooking!
