• About Stephie Cooks

    Stephie Cooks is about creating memories around the food we share.

    My mother grew up learning to cook and bake from her grandmother. She, in turn, passed her knowledge on to me. And I, in turn, have been passing what I have learned on to you through this website since 2011.

    Around here, cooking for others and sharing food is an emotional experience. It is something that comes from the heart. Good food brings people together in a way that few other things can.

    On Stephie Cooks, you’ll find:

    • Recipes that will feed your soul as well as your body, some of which have been in my family for generations.
    • Easy methods and recipe tips to make things simple even for beginner cooks and bakers.
    • Recipes created by me and tested by real people, so you know they’ll work.

    About Stephie

    I live in the middle of Illinois with my husband, daughter, and our menagerie of cats and dogs. When I’m not in my kitchen or at my computer writing, you can usually find me reading or working on one of my grandma-esque hobbies. More about Stephie >
