ABOUT ME

Emily - Owner of Recipes Nerd

Hi, I’m Emily!

🎉 Welcome to Recipes Nerd

Hey there! I’m Emily, the 33-year-old foodie behind Recipes Nerd. This blog is my happy place where I share recipes that feel like home and taste like love. Cooking has always been about more than food for me; it’s about creating something special to share with the people you care about. Here, you’ll find recipes that are simple, comforting, and sometimes a little adventurous. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just figuring things out, I’ve got something here for you.

🌿 How It All Started

I grew up in a small, quiet town where life moved at its own pace. My grandmother lived next door, and her kitchen was like magic. She had a garden full of strawberries, tomatoes, and herbs, and she loved turning them into meals that brought people together. I’d sit at her table, watching her cook, sneaking tastes when I could, and dreaming of the day I’d be able to cook like her. That’s where my love for fresh ingredients and honest, homemade food began. Those memories are still at the heart of everything I make today.

✨ Carrying It Forward

By the time I hit my late teens, I was spending hours in the kitchen, trying to recreate the magic of my grandmother’s cooking. I learned a lot through trial and error (and a few kitchen disasters), but I loved every moment of it. Now, every time I cook, I feel like I’m keeping her spirit alive. This blog is my way of sharing that joy and helping you bring a little bit of magic into your own kitchen.

🍴 What You’ll Find Here

Recipes Nerd is all about making food that feels good. I love creating recipes that remind you of your favorite family meals while also inspiring you to try something new. From cozy comfort food to fresh, colorful dishes, I try to keep things fun and approachable. Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be amazing, and I’m here to help you every step of the way.

☕ A Little About Me

When I’m not in the kitchen, you can usually find me sipping tea (mint is my favorite), brainstorming new ideas for recipes, or flipping through cookbooks for inspiration. Food is my love language, and nothing makes me happier than seeing people try my recipes and make them their own. I hope this blog feels like a place where you can come to find inspiration, relax, and connect over good food.
