Hi there! It’s nice to meet you. My name is Alyssa Bethencourt and I live in Gainesville, Florida. I started this site in January 2019 – with the goal of sharing my passion for cooking and life with the world! Here’s the beginning: I grew up in front of the television watching re-run episodes of Bobby Flay and Emeril Lagasse while eating away at a tangy tub of orange sherbert. I shifted a couple of feet away from the living room and ended up in my kitchen, creating all sorts of crazy concoctions that my family members would test out – imagine the craziest episode of Chopped you would ever see. With enough encouragement and practice, I learned how to whip up a couple of tasty things in the kitchen… and a decade or so later, I earned the title of “go-to chef” – meaning that I cook for EVERY family gathering, birthday, holiday, etc. + day-to-day meals that you too can put together. This site is about more than just recipes; it’s also a story of sorts, a collection of thoughts and food. Welcome to my kitchen and thanks for the company.
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
