We are Anna, Jessica, Megan, and Emily—four friends with a shared passion for cooking who decided to bring together our inspirations, recipes, and stories to create this site. Each of us comes from a different part of the United States, with our own style and culinary memories, but what unites us is the joy of cooking for sharing and connection.

I’m Anna Caldwell, 34 years old, living in the charming town of Asheville, North Carolina. Since I was a little girl, the kitchen has been my sanctuary. My grandmother, originally from Tennessee, used to let me sit on the counter while she made her famous cornbread and fried chicken. That was our special time together, and I believe that’s where it all began. These days, I love exploring local farmers’ markets, inventing recipes from what I find, and most of all, sharing my dishes with the people I love.

Jessica Monroe, 41, lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her passion came later in life, after she left a marketing job to focus on what truly lit her up: feeding people with flavors inspired by the Southwest. She makes homemade tacos, spicy sauces, and dishes that tell a story. For Jessica, cooking is like a great conversation—authentic, spontaneous, and full of warmth.

Megan Brooks is our bold and modern twist. At 29 and based in Portland, she creates healthy yet indulgent desserts, colorful smoothies, and vibrant buddha bowls. Always on the lookout for new combinations, she loves blending influences and playing with flavors.

Emily Carter, 37, lives in Charleston, South Carolina. She draws from the deep South’s culinary traditions—crawfish, sweet potato cakes, slow-cooked meals, and big family brunches are her everyday favorites. Her cooking bridges generations and cultures with every bite.

Together, we welcome you into our culinary world, filled with inspired recipes, heartfelt stories, and lots of love. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned foodie, you’re right at home here.
