Welcome to Owning This Stove. I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a food blogger, recipe developer, and storyteller who believes food is one of the most honest ways to understand a place, a person, or a moment in time.
This blog is where I collect those moments, from quiet mornings in unfamiliar kitchens to crowded cafés filled with conversation and clinking cups.
