About Me

The Author

I'm Lori and I love to cook!

Cooking is one of my biggest passions in life. I think it allows you do so much--play, experiment, connect, inspire, but most importantly, share a little bit of yourself with those around you. I've been cooking for as long as I can remember. I've always liked going for the super complex recipes with the long ingredient lists; things like classic cheesecakes and chocolate filled croissants. While I still enjoy "project cooking", my daily life involves simple recipes with everyday ingredients.

I started this blog as a way to share new things I was cooking and keep a record of the good things I had made. Over the years, I have become more interested in photography so I try to incorporate photos of my food more often.

My general cooking and blogging goals are as follows:

  • Expand my cooking horizons with new ingredients, methods, dishes, and flavors.
  • Find inspiration in the world around me--colors, textures, flavors.
  • Get back to basics in the kitchen by learning standard, unadorned recipes from which to build from.
  • Embrace simple and small everyday indulgences.
  • Improve my food photography skills.
