About Me

Hey there! I’m Olivia Bennett, the flour-dusted dreamer behind MissCooking!

Picture this: Sunday afternoon, 2018. Me, standing in my postage-stamp kitchen, covered in tomato sauce after my first attempt at Nonna’s secret pasta recipe spectacularly backfired. My smoke alarm offering harsh criticism, and my roommate peeking in with equal parts concern and amusement. That catastrophic marinara moment? The unexpected beginning of this wild culinary adventure!

You see, I've never been one to give up easily (stubborn is my middle name—just ask my mom). What began as a personal challenge to conquer the basics has blossomed into this cozy corner of the internet where we can laugh, learn, and lick the spoon together.

By day, I wrangle pixels as a graphic designer. By evening, I’m elbow-deep in cookie dough or dancing around with my trusty wooden spoon like I’m conducting a delicious symphony. My cooking style? Think comfort food with a twist, weeknight miracles, and the occasional fancy-pants recipe when we’re feeling extra!

When I’m not in the kitchen, I’m probably hunting for vintage cookbooks (my collection is borderline hoarding), naming the plants in my herb garden (yes, my basil is called Herb Brooks), or convincing strangers at the farmers market to tell me their secret cooking tricks.

So kick off your shoes, pour something tasty, and make yourself at home. MissCooking isn’t just about perfect plating or intimidating techniques—it’s about the stories we create, the messes we make, and finding joy in the journey, one delicious disaster at a time!

Can’t wait to cook up some memories with you!
