EXPERIENCE:

Jessica Kostka is the founder of Cooking in my Genes. From a young age, she remembers sitting around the dinner table at home or the cottage, for big meals, conversations and laughs. Days made for eating, like Christmas, that had two turkey dinners in less than 12 hours and brought her German heritage together with her Canadian one.

She loves gathering with people and breaking bread and sharing stories. It’s these moments that she draws on for her recipes, to help inspire you to create your own meals and memories with the people that matter to you.

She is here to help you find simple, seasonal recipes that taste good. That make it easier to get together with your friends. That help you spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying food with the ones you love.
