About me

Why You Can Trust Me

I personally develop, test, and photograph every recipe you see on this site. I don’t outsource recipe development or food photography — when you read one of my recipes, you’re getting something I’ve made in my own kitchen, often more than once (okay, maybe five times if it involves cheese).

I also don’t do sponsored posts or paid placements. If I recommend a product or tool, it’s because I truly love it and use it — no strings attached.

I focus on quality over quantity, which means I don’t rush to churn out recipes just to fill space. Every recipe I share has been carefully crafted to make sure it’s worth your time, your ingredients, and your trust.

Whether you’re just getting started or have been cooking for years, I’ve got your back.

My Backstory

I graduated from the University of Georgia and have called the charming state of Georgia home ever since. I didn’t grow up knowing how to cook, but I always loved watching the way food brought people together. Like many of us, I turned to the internet when I wanted to learn how to cook — only to discover how frustrating it can be to find recipes that are both realistic and delicious.

So I started experimenting. I’d spend hours testing recipes, learning techniques, and figuring out why certain dishes tasted “just okay” while others felt like something out of a restaurant.

Eventually, I started sharing my creations on Pinterest. (Let’s just say my first food photos weren’t exactly Pinterest-worthy. 😅) But the more I shared, the more I realized: this was my thing. I loved creating recipes that made people feel proud of what they cooked.

And just like that, Recipe By Katherine was born.

My Goal at Recipe By Katherine

Every time I create a recipe, I picture you. Maybe you’re cooking after a long workday. Maybe you’re trying something new for date night. Or maybe you’re just really craving a good bowl of mac and cheese.

I know you’re spending money on ingredients and time in the kitchen. My goal is to make sure that your time and effort are never wasted.

I want you to:

• Feel excited to try new things
• Understand the why behind every step
• Cook meals that you’re proud to serve

My hope is that this site gives you more than just recipes — I want to share tips, techniques, and little kitchen secrets that help you grow as a home cook.

Let’s Stay Connected!

I’d love to connect with you on Pinterest — it’s where I share new recipes, seasonal favorites, and everything I’m currently loving in the kitchen.

If you ever have a question about a recipe, leave a comment or send me an email at [email protected] — I love hearing from you and always try to reply personally.

Thank you so much for being here. I’m honored to be part of your kitchen journey!

With love,
Katherine
