Recipe illustrations for curious home cooks.
It started with curiosity.
And a very tiny kitchen.
At three, I loved cooking in this toy kitchen. Tiny pans, pretend meals, and a pink stool so I could reach the stove. By fifth grade, I was cooking with real ingredients—and I’ve kept going ever since.
Now I’m a student at ICL Academy in the San Francisco Bay Area, sharing that same curiosity through Flour Up! Come for a recipe, stay for the kitchen adventures.
