From Classroom to Kitchen: My Journey

My path to food blogging started in a Minnesota classroom where I spent years teaching fourth grade. While I loved teaching, my passion for cooking grew stronger each day. After long teaching days, I found joy experimenting with recipes and sharing them with Bjork. What started as a hobby evolved into something more when I began photographing my culinary creations.

In 2015, I made the exciting decision to pursue food blogging full-time. Now, my Minnesota kitchen has become my new classroom. Instead of teaching math, I’m sharing recipes and cooking techniques. My camera is as essential as my mixing bowls, helping me capture the joy of homemade meals.

Minnesota’s seasons inspire my cooking – hearty comfort food for long winters and fresh, vibrant dishes for lake-day summers. My goal with Laura Recipes is simple: sharing approachable, delicious recipes that bring people together. Every recipe is carefully tested in my home kitchen with you in mind.

With love from my kitchen to yours,

Laura
