HI, I'M EMILY COOPER
I have lived in the deep south all of my life, with a culture that embraces good food for comfort, entertainment, socialization, celebration, and showing love. Getting together with family and friends to share good food and beverages is one of my favorite things to do.

Easy, affordable Southern recipes using local and simple ingredients featuring weeknight meals, freezer-friendly ideas, special occasion favorites, and a few timeless classics worth the wait.

Cooking for Family
I am an everyday southern cook who believes that delicious food doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag or a long wait at a restaurant. My intention for this website is to share approachable, flavorful recipes that bring the comfort of home-cooked meals to your table- without the stress or expense. All the recipes you’ll find here use simple, affordable ingredients you can pick up at your local grocery store. Whether you are cooking for your family or just for yourself or for a special occasion, I hope this site helps you enjoy fabulous food every day.

Inthekitchen.com is my personal corner of the internet where I get to share the recipes I've collected, created, and fine-tuned over the years. It's a fun and meaningful way for me to preserve family favorites, experiment with new flavors, and connect with others who love every day cooking as much as I do.
