    About Me

    Hi!  I'm Jen Vondenbrink

    Cooking is a passion passed down from both of my grandmothers to my mother and then to my sister and me.  

    Throughout my career, I was always drawn back to food.  I've learned from experienced chefs, apprenticed with professional bakers, and tasted coffee with international experts.

    Today I'm sharing those experiences with you by making sure that every recipe is meticulously crafted and kitchen-tested to ensure reliable, delicious results for your home kitchen.
