About Appetite for Life

Appetite for Life is dedicated to helping curious home cooks gain the confidence to embrace creative cooking in the kitchen. Jen Vondenbrink, the owner and founder, does this by offering approachable recipes that use regular ingredients with a few extra twists to spark your creativity. She explores the stories behind recipes and ingredients in her How To posts, Resources, and Travel Suggestions to help you gain confidence to experiment and shine. This website features creative recipes with ingredients you can find in your local grocery store that are seasonal, healthy (for the most part), and fun to make. Appetite for Life also offers mini cookbooks, classes, a Facebook Group, and a membership site for curious cooks to dive even deeper into creative cooking. Want to be part of this vibrant community?
