About Me

Hello! I'm Kendra Thompson, the heart and soul behind Cooking with Kendra. Welcome to my culinary corner of the internet, where I share my passion for cooking, delicious recipes, and the joy of creating memorable meals with family and friends.

My Culinary Journey

My love for cooking began at a young age, inspired by the vibrant flavors and aromas that filled my grandmother's kitchen. Growing up in a family that cherished home-cooked meals, I quickly learned the value of fresh ingredients and the magic of transforming them into something extraordinary. This early exposure to the culinary arts set the foundation for my lifelong passion for cooking.

After completing my formal education in culinary arts, I embarked on a journey to explore diverse cuisines and cooking techniques. From the bustling markets of Asia to the rustic kitchens of Europe, I have had the privilege of learning from some of the world's most talented chefs and home cooks. These experiences have enriched my culinary repertoire and deepened my appreciation for the art of cooking.
