First Step: Europe

Kat & Melinda are best friends sharing simple recipes for weeknight dinners and easy entertaining recipes and ideas for feeding family and friends during the holidays and at parties.

Tested Italian recipes from my father's New York restaurant, plus the ones I learned cooking with him after he retired. Carbonara, Sicilian seafood, Sunday gravy, weeknight pastas. One recipe most weeks, written for home cooks.

Through southern family dishes with Louisiana flavor, easy entertaining & weekly menu ideas, I’m all in for bringing connection & friendship back to the table!
