About Me

i believe in using real ingredients.

Hey! My name is Dee and I’m so happy you’re here!

With over 15 years of experience in the food industry, I haven’t just observed culinary artistry; I’ve lived it. While I may not have been a chef, I’ve served and bartended in some of the most amazing establishments, absorbing the sights, sounds, and most importantly, the flavors.

I believe in real food, the kind that has sustained us for centuries is what I focus on here at Gimme From Scratch. What sets me apart is my dedication to making restaurant-worthy dishes accessible to home cooks. I love recreating the magic of dining out in the comfort of my own kitchen.

I find immense joy in hosting friends and family, sharing my culinary expertise, and creating memorable dining experiences at home.

my Mission & commitment

My love for food was ignited early on, as I watched my grandmothers and mother create mouthwatering dishes. The warmth of their recipes and the aroma of home-cooked meals left an indelible mark on my heart. I’m a Chicago native so some of my favorite dishes come from home. I also have a special love Cajun, southern and soul food.

My mission is to help you create restaurant-quality dishes using quality ingredients, most of which are made from scratch.

I take pride in providing you with reliable recipes and information. My dedication to education and research extends to studying renowned chefs, honing new and classic cooking techniques and exploring the best restaurants to ensure you receive trustworthy guidance and delicious recipes.
