Meet April
Hey, I’m April. I’ve loved cooking since I was a kid—it’s always been my way of creating something meaningful & delicious for the people I care about. Over the years, that passion has only deepened, and today, I create and share easy southern, ethnic and comforting recipes I grew up with, along with new favorites I’ve discovered over the years. My work has been proudly featured on BET, The Kitchn, Parade, Taste of Home, Essence, Country Living, MSN, Food52, and more. Thank you for being here.
