Grace Brown

People have asked me how I started to cook at such a young age. My mom always encouraged me to cook with her in the kitchen, even when I was little. When I was around nine years old, I started cooking on my own. I never liked following recipes. I wanted the recipes to be my own creative ideas. Even if I followed a recipe, I always had to change it. My mom would ask me why I didn’t follow a recipe. My response was, “Well, I just wanted to add more of this and that.” Cooking is my passion! I love cooking for my family and seeing what I can create with food. I want to inspire people with my food and family life. I want my recipes to inspire others to cook and have fun in the kitchen. Be creative with your food. But most of all I want these recipes to glorify God. To think that I am cooking what God gave to us and made just for us is pretty awesome. I want to fully devote my service to God, and want you to as well. We serve such an amazing God. We need not take for granted God’s wonderful love and guidance through this life. As you cook, think of ways you can glorify God with your cooking abilities and other talents. Have fun cooking!
