About Me: Amanda, the Chef Behind WowRecipez

Welcome to WowRecipez I’m Amanda, an Alabama-born chef, food lover, and creator of this blog dedicated to everything food enthusiasts love. From a young age, I’ve been captivated by the magic of cooking—the way simple ingredients can be transformed into extraordinary dishes that nourish both body and soul. My love for food led me to pursue a career as a professional chef, but it’s the connection with others through cooking that has truly fueled my passion.

WowRecipez was born from my desire to share my culinary experiences, inspire home cooks, and create a space where food lovers can come together. Here, it’s not just about recipes; it’s about the stories, the experiences, and the joy that come with making food that tastes great and brings people closer. Whether you’re an experienced chef or someone who just loves to explore new flavors in the kitchen, WowRecipez is here to guide, inspire, and celebrate the art of cooking.

My Culinary Journey

Growing up in Alabama, I was surrounded by the rich flavors of Southern cuisine. From slow-cooked barbecue to buttery biscuits, I learned early on how food could reflect culture, tradition, and family. My grandmother was a huge influence on my cooking. She taught me that food doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious—sometimes, simplicity is key. As I grew older, my curiosity about other cuisines expanded, leading me to explore flavors from around the world.

After graduating from culinary school, I spent years working in restaurants, where I honed my skills and learned from some of the best chefs in the industry. But it wasn’t just in the kitchen where I learned—traveling to different countries, tasting local dishes, and seeing how food is prepared in various cultures shaped my approach to cooking. This blend of Southern roots and global influences is what you’ll find in many of the recipes on WowRecipez.
