Hey everyone! I’m Skyler and I want to help you make the most delicious home cooked meals that taste like they’re from a restaurant.

I test and develop all of my recipes in my own home kitchen so that I know you can make them in yours too. I hope you and your loved ones enjoy all of these meals that I’ve created.

If you’ve made it down here, you’re probably curious about me—or just scrolling aimlessly. Either way, here’s my story. I’m not your typical recipe developer and haven’t always been on the cooking side of the culinary industry. Believe it or not, I started by reviewing restaurants as a passion project, which became my full-time job. From 2012 to 2018, I dined at top restaurants worldwide and called it work.

I advised restaurants on social media, helped plan menus, and even ran my own baking business, making and selling rainbow tie-dye cake balls. I’ve also hosted culinary segments for Food Network, Amazon, TODAY Show, POPSUGAR, Mashable, and more. I’ve done a lot in the food industry, but nothing fulfills me more than recipe development and teaching others to cook.

During all my other food-related work, I was also teaching myself to cook. I didn’t dive into full-time cooking until the pandemic put things in perspective.

Now, three years strong, I create recipes daily for you all and wouldn’t change a thing. My cooking style? Restaurant-quality flavors made easy for the home kitchen. My goal is to help you level up your flavors and feel confident cooking. Remember, flavor is relative—what tastes one way to me may taste different to you. That’s why I encourage you to taste every step of the way. My recipes often say “to taste” for seasoning and garnishes because I want you to trust your own palate and use my recipes as a guideline to suit your tastes perfectly.

Before my cooking and restaurant reviewing days, I grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, in a food-obsessed French Canadian family. My uncle, a chef, taught me kitchen skills early on, while my parents introduced me to boxed cake mixes and diverse dining experiences. Traveling as a competitive squash player, I explored cuisines worldwide and collected foreign candy.

In 2011, I went to NYU to study broadcast journalism. Living in the food capital of the world inspired me to document my food experiences, leading to the creation of this blog. Starting with an Instagram post in 2012, my culinary career began. I launched the NYU chapter of Spoon University and studied cuisine in Hong Kong. Interning at media outlets, I learned by doing, teaching myself to cook and review restaurants.

Graduating early in 2014, I pursued my food blog full-time, studying baking and launching my own line of cake balls, Ballsy Bites. My dream was to work in food television and share my stories. Now, thanks to your support, my blog has grown into a resource for creative recipes. I’m grateful for the opportunity to follow (and eat) my dreams, sharing my passion for food with you all.
