Hey there, fellow food lovers! I’m Marcus Stone a 34-year-old guy from New Orleans who traded his corporate finance job for a life in the kitchen about five years ago. When I’m not experimenting with flavors, you’ll find me restoring vintage motorcycles in my garage, catching Saints games with friends, or exploring local farmers markets for the freshest ingredients. My cooking style? Bold, approachable, and always with a story behind it.

This blog started during the pandemic when I began sharing my family’s Creole recipes and my own culinary adventures with friends online. What began as a way to stay connected became my passion project. I believe great food doesn’t have to be complicated – it just needs heart, quality ingredients, and the perfect balance of flavors.
