Our Story

Tastes and Treks shares our stories of exploration in the kitchen and on the road.

We're home cooks–not professional chefs–with real-life experience cooking for loved ones. Our passion for cooking stems from our love for delicious food and the joyful moments shared around the table. In the past, when we were a young couple on a tight budget, dining out for a great meal was our preferred form of entertainment. We would savor every bite, analyze the ingredients, and try to recreate the dishes at home, sometimes with success.

We've challenged ourselves to try recipes from renowned chefs, learning from our failures and surprising ourselves with successful outcomes. Additionally, we have our own reliable recipes that we prepare repeatedly but have never written down. Through this platform, we share a mix of both experiences. We hope to inspire your own love of creating great meals for your friends and family.

In this chapter of our lives, we are grateful to have time to pursue our other shared passion: traveling. Whether it's embarking on road trips across the country or boarding planes to explore international destinations, we both have an equal love for these adventures. Through sharing our experiences, we aim to inspire and encourage you to embark on your own travel adventures.

Cheers ~ Steve and Jennifer
