From Professional Kitchens to Family Traditions

​

Hi there! I’m Sarah, and I’m so happy you’re here.

​

I’ve spent over 20 years behind the stove, blending professional techniques with the messy, beautiful reality of home cooking. But TaughtToCook didn't start in a restaurant; it started at home. I wanted to show my kids that cooking doesn’t have to be a chore... it can be fun, easy, and a way to celebrate who we are.

Global Flavors, Pantry Staples

​

Our family is a beautiful mix of cultures, so my recipe box is a bit of a passport. On this site, you’ll find a variety of cuisines, but with a practical twist. I know what it’s like to live a busy lifestyle. You won’t find hours-long prep times or "speciality" ingredients that require a trip to three different stores. Everything here is:

• Simple to follow (no culinary degree required!).

• Pantry-friendly (using what you likely already have).

• Family-approved (the toughest critics of all!).

​

Why Now? 

For years, friends, family, and even total strangers have asked me for my recipes or told me, "Sarah, you need to open a restaurant!" While I love the compliment, I realized my real passion is helping you feel confident in your own kitchen. I’ve carefully compiled this blog to share every tip, shortcut, and secret I’ve picked up over the last two decades.

​

My goal is for you to leave this site feeling entertained, educated, and most importantly, inspired for your next meal.
