Hi there, and welcome! I’m Madelyn, the heart and hands behind FromMyOven. I’m 37 years old, a passionate home chef, and completely obsessed with creating from-scratch recipes that actually work in real kitchens, not the imaginary, spotless ones on TV.
FromMyOven is my cozy corner of the internet where simple ingredients, honest cooking, and comforting flavors come together. I’m so happy you’re here (truly, grab a seat, the oven’s preheating).
Where My Love for Cooking Began
My love for cooking started long before recipe cards, food blogs, or perfectly styled plates.
I grew up in a quiet American town where life moved a little slower and family meant everything. As a child, I spent countless hours at my grandmother’s house, a place filled with warmth, laughter, and the unmistakable aroma of something delicious baking in the oven.
Her kitchen was pure magic. She had a gift for turning the simplest ingredients into meals that made people linger at the table just a little longer. Fresh herbs from the garden, ripe fruit on the counter, and handwritten notes tucked into old cookbooks, it all felt alive.
Watching her cook taught me something important: food isn’t just food, it’s memory, comfort, and connection.
From Curious Kid to Confident Cook
As a teenager, I started experimenting on my own, sometimes successfully, sometimes… memorably not. By the time I was 18, I was spending hours testing recipes, tweaking flavors, and learning why things worked (or didn’t).
Those years shaped how I cook today. I learned patience, creativity, and the value of recipes that don’t require fancy tools or rare ingredients.
Even though my grandmother is no longer with me, her spirit lives on in every dish I make. FromMyOven is my way of honoring her legacy, by sharing recipes that feel homemade, comforting, and made with heart.
