Hello there! I’m Olivia—the face (and taste buds) behind Homestyle Cooks.
Ever since I can remember, I’ve found joy in turning simple, wholesome ingredients into comforting meals.
Growing up in a cozy kitchen filled with the aromas of simmering sauces and freshly baked bread shaped my love for homemade recipes. My passion is to recreate that sense of warmth and satisfaction for everyone who stops by this website.
My Twin Sister: My Forever Cheerleader
They say twins share a special bond, and I couldn’t agree more. My twin sister has been my biggest supporter from day one. When I was just a curious child stirring cake batter, she stood beside me, cheering me on whenever I tried a new recipe—even if it didn’t turn out as expected. She’s my taste-tester, my sounding board, and my reliable sous-chef whenever I need an extra set of hands. Her unwavering support has given me the courage to follow my dreams and start Homestyle Cooks. Even miles apart, we share recipes, swap kitchen stories, and encourage each other every day.
My Golden Retriever: My Loyal Sous-Chef
I also share my home (and sometimes my kitchen floor!) with my beloved Golden Retriever. She’s the sunshine of my life—always by my side, tail wagging, as I test out new ideas.
From the moment I start rattling pots and pans, she perks up, hoping for a stray carrot slice or a piece of chicken. I can’t imagine my cooking adventures without her curious nose sniffing out the next meal. She reminds me to pause, take a breath, and enjoy the moment.
Why I Started Homestyle Cooks
Through this website, I want to celebrate all the little moments that make home cooking so special—kitchen mishaps, secret ingredients, and heartwarming family traditions. Whether you’re a seasoned home chef or just starting out, I hope Homestyle Cooks inspires you to experiment, have fun, and create meals that bring people together.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let’s get cooking!
