My name is Jo and to put it simply I like to cook. I find it calming, exciting, frustrating, and tantalizing. My kitchen is my hide away. I go there for peace. Peace from my two children, and unexpectedly large pup (also the biggest fan of my cooking).
I like to take old recipes and update them, give them new life. I cook simply, I hate recipes that call for 20 ingredients and 30 steps. Frankly, they scare me. I'm not formally trained. I learned in my Mom and Grandma's kitchens. I have learned by trial and error. The greatest thing is when an error turns into something wonderful or I actually get a "that was great Mom" from one of my kids. Most importantly, when I cook for someone it makes me feel like in my own way I am taking care of them, I am providing them with nourishment, and hopefully they leave the meal happy. So this is my journey, in my kitchen, where I make old recipes new again.
