Welcome
Hey, I’m Brooke.
come learn with me
I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen since I was little, clad in a deep purple apron sown together by my small hands–with the help of my patient grandmother. My grandmothers saw a spark and let me help wherever I could. I’m sure I made their kitchens far messier and their recipes far slower but they always let my sister and I join in on the fun. From making mac and cheese with a mountain of cheese to chocolate chip cookies and a secret family bread recipe, we made a mess, and man, we had a good time.
At some point along the way, I fell in love with the magic that happens in the kitchen and the joy and love that food brings. There’s something sacred to me about making good food and sharing it with people you love.
Over the last few years, I’ve honed my skills and dove deeper into the world of food. Every journey begins by emulating people doing what you want to be. So that’s where I find myself. I’m still learning and have so much more to learn, but I’m also getting better and stepping out of my comfort zone–and recipes–more.
Welcome to my digital journey! I’ll be documenting the process of making some of my favorite recipes as well as some new, stretching recipes and hope to soon add a few of my own to the mix. As I bake and eat my way through my culinary learning journey, I’ll share the recipes I’m working through along with photos, observations, and any helpful tips I find along the way. I hope to honor the recipe creators’ hard work well as I learn how they’ve mastered their craft.
