My Instagram started as a way to teach people how to hunt and forage wild food and prepare it because I believe food is medicine. Having a job that moves me everywhere made this blog evolve to represent the new places I live and new cuisine I try. I love cooking and hosting, it’s my love language and I try to share all my recipes and ideas for fellow foodies.

Life is hard, cooking doesn’t have to be! I’m a food enthusiast who empowers my audience to shed their fears and insecurities in the kitchen to find their inner-chef, demonstrating my mantra, "Life is hard, cooking doesn’t have to be." Drawing from my early childhood spent alongside my grandmother and mother, growing our own produce on our farmstead in rural Tennessee; creating meals (the original farm-to-fork), I endeavor to share the passion I have for authentic, unfettered and delicious recipes. I bask in the process of creating healthful meals using quality products and ingredients that nourish both body and soul. I love sharing my favorite cooking items, like my Cutco Knives, my process and my favorite recipes with my fans on my website, blog and social media. Looking forward to publishing my first cookbook very soon! Come have a taste!

Mauro and Maddalena Castano @maddalenaandmauro

Mauro and Maddalena Castano of TLC's Cake Boss, Buddy vs. Duff, Buddy vs. Duff Christmas, Kitchen Boss, Next Great Bakery and a new show airing on A&E, Cake Dynasty, are owners of Carlo's Bakery, a global bakery empire, social media personalities and home cooks. Mauro learned to cook after moving to America from Milan, Italy, and Maddalena learned to cook from her Italian immigrant parents. The love for food and home cooking has solidified their love and has become their love language. Cutco has been a part of their story from the start of their marriage, 32 years ago when they received their first set, the Essentials Plus 5 Set! Without any official culinary training Mauro and Maddalena know how to whip up delicious and simple dishes. They understand that everything involving food today is about the social media post moment, but they believe with simplicity and love, your food will always be delicious and warm the heart. Without love, laughter and a little bit of fun, cooking turns into a chore instead of a bond and come-together moment! When they are not cooking for themselves and family they enjoy a nice day at the beach, a good night out for dinner and quality family time at home.

I’m an amateur backyard enthusiast! Meaning I mostly cook things on my smoker and love to post videos of what I make. I received my first Cutco set as a gift and have been amazed with how easy it makes things. From prepping to slicing, the knives cut things with ease. But the best kept secret is the cutting boards. Cutco products are a must have around the kitchen!

Cooking is my passion and what I enjoy even more is teaching others how to cook! My Lebanese heritage plays a huge role in my love for cooking. My recipes incorporate so many diversified cuisines as I've lived in West Africa and now here in the states. My love for good knives is credited to my mother. She comes from a family of butchers. Cutco is my favorite set of knives, I use them every day.

I am Roxanne, a "Kitchen Coach." I have always been a foodie. I try to be a "good foodie," which requires me to take control of what I eat so I started cooking my foods in a healthier way. Because I spend sooooo much time in my kitchen, my knives make it easier for me to prepare healthier "foodie" options.

I was sold during my first demo when tomatoes were no longer messy to cut. I like that my red knives are always a conversation piece when people come into my kitchen. I quickly rattle off why I LOVE my Cutco Knives because it's an investment in me that helps me in living a healthier lifestyle.
