Hi, I’m Matthew, a cookbook author and recipe developer from central Kentucky. I grew up surrounded by the traditions of home cooking and have turned that love into a passion for creating recipes that are approachable, comforting, and just a little gourmet.

I specialize in writing and publishing cozy, everyday recipes that anyone can bring to life in their own kitchen. From holiday favorites to weeknight breads and bakes, my mission is to inspire home cooks to find joy in the process and pride in the results.

When I’m not developing recipes, I’m baking, writing, and sharing stories through The LEAF-let Press, my own small publishing imprint dedicated to home economics and kitchen wisdom.
