Hi! I’m Maddie — a Food Engineer and Recipe Developer.

Which is exactly what it sounds like: I spend my days developing delicious recipes that are worth repeating.

The kitchen has always been my escape. Cooking brings me joy — even when things don’t go as planned!

My education was inspired by the peace and creativity I found in cooking. After four and a half years of late nights, endless studying, way too much coffee, and somehow passing all my classes, I earned a Bachelor of Bioproducts & Biosystems Engineering with an emphasis in Food Engineering, along with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition.

My studies taught me the fascinating science and chemistry that form the foundation of everything we do in the kitchen. Nutrition helped me understand what that all means for our bodies and health. This blend of food science and nutrition shapes my approach to recipe development — guided equally by what I’ve learned, my cravings, and the inspiration I gather from local restaurants and travel.

Since graduating, I’ve been working full-time as a recipe developer — creating delicious, reliable recipes for you to enjoy.

So, what’s my food philosophy?

It’s simple: I don’t follow a diet, and I don’t have a zero-tolerance policy for anything.

I eat nourishing, whole foods most of the time — because I enjoy them and love how they make me feel. But I also eat whatever the hell I want. That might mean indulging in rich chocolate mousse, homemade pasta, or ice cream — no guilt, no apologies.

You’ll find that same philosophy in my recipes. Most are wholesome, seasonal, and full of whole food ingredients — but some are just pure joy on a plate. I believe food should be delicious, satisfying, and free of judgment.

You won’t find a library of grain-free, sugar-free, or trend-driven recipes here — because that’s not me. But what you will find is something truly delicious.

This blog is my creative outlet — a home for all my culinary experiments, successes, and inspirations.

Welcome to my world. I’m so glad you’re here.
