About

Hi, I’m Johanne—but everyone calls me Jo! I’m a French Canadian who grew up in Quebec and moved to the U.S. in 2006. I’ve lived in Charlottesville, VA, Atlanta, GA, and now call Brooklyn, NY home, where I share my life with my wonderful husband and our two mischievous cats.

By day, I’m a passionate preschool teacher, but when the apron goes on, I step into my favorite role—home cook and fearless kitchen explorer. I’ve always loved food, but over the past 15 years, my passion for cooking has truly taken root. The kitchen is my happy place, where I find joy (and therapy) in chopping vegetables, baking bread, and experimenting with flavors. I love discovering new ingredients and techniques, embracing both my successes and my (many) flops as part of the adventure.

I’m still learning, but that’s what makes cooking so exciting! This blog is my way of sharing my journey—one recipe, experiment, and delicious discovery at a time. I hope you’ll join me!
