Hi there! I’m Olivia, and I’m so happy you’ve found your way here. I’m 37 years old and living in Austin, Texas, a city full of vibrant flavors, lively farmers markets, and endless inspiration for anyone who loves good food.
Believe it or not, cooking wasn’t always my first passion. My journey started in the most ordinary way, trying to make sense of a busy life and a fridge that often felt a little too empty. But somewhere between the late-night experiments and the countless “oops” moments, I fell in love with the joy that cooking brings.
I didn’t attend culinary school, I went to the school of real-life kitchens, where my lessons came from burnt cookies, wobbly pies, and more than a few last-minute dinners that somehow turned into family favorites. And through all the trial and error, I realized something beautiful: food doesn’t need to be fancy to be extraordinary, it just needs heart.
Today, my kitchen is my sanctuary. It’s where I test out creative twists on everyday meals, balance comforting flavors with healthier choices, and dream up recipes that anyone can try, even if you’ve never felt confident holding a whisk. I believe cooking should be approachable, joyful, and maybe even a little playful.
WeTasteRecipes is my space to share those discoveries with you, from simple weeknight dinners to little culinary adventures that will make you fall in love with your own kitchen. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by cooking or unsure where to start, you’re in the right place.
So come on in, grab a cup of tea (or maybe a spatula), and let’s make something wonderful together. From my heart, and my kitchen, to yours, welcome to WeTasteRecipes!
Warmly,
Olivia
