And dailykitchenstudio is my little corner of the internet!
I grew up in a tiny kitchen in Portland, Oregon, but I didn’t start sharing recipes online until 2015. At the time I was working as a graphic designer, pulling all‑night shifts and dreaming of a way to turn my love of simple, seasonal food into something more. One rainy Thursday, I filmed myself making a quick lemon‑thyme pasta for a friend and uploaded it to a new blog I called dailykitchenstudio. The post got 300 views in a day – enough to convince me that people wanted honest, home‑cooked meals that didn’t require a culinary degree.
Fast‑forward to today, and dailykitchenstudio has turned into a full‑time kitchen lab. In March 2022 we hit 50,000 unique visitors per month, and our newsletter now reaches 150,000 hungry readers every Thursday. I’ve added a weekly “Meal‑Prep Monday” video series, a searchable recipe index, and a small shop where I sell my hand‑crafted spice blends. The site even earned a spot on the “Top 10 Food Blogs to Follow” list in Bon Appétit last summer, which was a surreal moment for someone who started with a single webcam.
When I’m not whisking, sautéing, or answering comments, I’m living in Asheville, North Carolina, with my husband, two rescue dogs named Basil and Sage, and a very opinionated houseplant collection. I love hiking the Blue Ridge Mountains on weekends, digging through vintage record crates for jazz vinyl, and perfecting my sourdough starter (it’s now in its third year). If you ever drop by the kitchen, you’ll probably find me humming along to Miles Davis while the kettle whistles.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find a recipe that feels like a warm hug, a tip that saves you a trip to the store, or just a moment of calm in the middle of a busy day. Happy cooking!
