Meet Sarah – The Heart Behind CookedJoy ❤️

Hi, I’m Sarah a 35-year-old home cook with a big heart and even bigger flavors. CookedJoy isn’t just a website to me… it’s a love story written in recipes, built on memories, and shared from my kitchen to yours.

My cooking journey started in a small sunlit kitchen, standing on a stool beside my grandpa a local legend in our hometown. He didn’t just teach me how to cook. He taught me how to feel the food, to listen to it sizzle, and to serve it with joy. I still remember the smell of his garlic butter and how his stories made every meal magical.

Now, I cook side-by-side with my wonderful husband Samad my partner in life, taste-testing, and taco nights. He’s the one behind the camera, the tech, and sometimes, the dishes 😉.

We started CookedJoy to share the kind of cozy, heartwarming meals that make people smile no fancy techniques, just real food made with real love.

We focus on recipes for everyday American families (especially our friends in the USA, Canada, UK, and Australia) who want meals that are comforting, simple, and full of flavor. Whether it’s a nostalgic casserole, a fresh weeknight dinner, or a dessert your grandma would be proud of it’s all made with joy, for joyful homes.

So welcome to our table. From our kitchen to yours let’s cook with love, laugh through the mess, and make every meal a little more meaningful.

With all my heart,
Sarah
