👩‍🍳 A note from Shaye

I'm Shaye, mom of four and author of From Scratch, Family Table, Welcome to the Farm, and Seasons at the Farm. I first fell in love with Italy in 2007, and it's forever inspiring how I cook: simple, seasonal ingredients prepared well.

I started The Cooking Community in 2018 because cooking doesn't have to be a solo sport — it's way more fun with people at your side and recipes at your fingertips! The work you do in your kitchen matters, and you deserve encouragement, inspiration, and good company while you create.

I'm looking forward to seeing in the cucina. 🤍
