About

Hi, I’m Kel — bartender by trade, home cook by necessity, and the person responsible for feeding a very hungry family.

Between mixing drinks and making meals, I’ve learned that cooking has to be easy, flexible, and fast enough to survive real life. No fancy techniques, no hard-to-find ingredients – just good food that actually gets eaten (and hopefully doesn’t involve a last-minute drive-thru).

Cookin’ With Kel is all about accessible cooking for everyone. If you’re feeding a crowd, cooking on a budget, short on time, or just tired, you’re in the right place. I believe anyone can cook – even on busy days, even when you’re exhausted, and even when someone asks, “what’s for dinner?” for the fifth time.

So welcome to my kitchen. Expect simple recipes, big flavors, and the occasional cocktail-inspired idea. Let’s cook something easy, fun, and family-approved — because hungry people don’t mess around 😄🍹🍝
