HELLO THERE
My name is Elise, and I am a professional chef, pretty-picture taker, and recipe developer.
After years of family and friends asking me for the recipe for something I have made, only to be met with an “uh, I didn’t write it down” from me, I have finally started to write my recipes down. You’re welcome, Mom.
I am so pleased that I am able to share my food with you as well.
Even if you don’t use my exact recipes (as I have done oh so many times with other blogs and cookbooks), I hope that you can find flavors and ideas that inspire exploration in your own kitchen.
Now let’s start cooking so that we can eat!
Cheers
