About Me:

Taylor Brooks, 34, is proud of their Midwest roots, having grown up between Illinois cornfields and bustling Chicago streets. Their earliest food memories are of baking cinnamon rolls with mom and backyard barbecues with dad.

Taylor believes hearty, home-cooked food should be fun and stress-free, and uses anecdotes to make each recipe both memorable and manageable.
