Pinterest, pasta, and Pinot Noir... three of my favorite things, and precisely what lead me here. I hate to sound basic, but if it weren't for Pinterest recipes, a major pasta craving, and a generous supply of Pinot Noir, I'm not sure I would've ever discovered my passion for cooking.

Once Covid hit and I had some free time on my hands, I quickly realized how much I love expanding my culinary skills. I spend hours on Pinterest reading different recipes and planning meals.

One of my biggest pet peeves is following a recipe that turns out to look nothing like the photo from the blog I found it on. This is one of the main reasons I decided to write this cookbook. All of the photos featured in this book from the cover to the last page was shot by me, on my iPhone. What you see is what you get - just don't f*ck it up!
