Behind the recipes
Hi, I’m Rebecca
Culinary creator and domestic darling to my family of 6! I learned most of my culinary prowess from my grandmother. She was a life long learner and curator of hundreds of heirloom recipes from her family and friends.
I also took culinary arts in college and then worked in a restaurant for years! But these old-fashioned gems are still the recipes I come back to again and again!
Because there is nothing quite like a cozy meal from grandma’s kitchen!
