Meet Donna

Hi there! I’m Donna — the cook, baker, food lover, and storyteller behind Cooking with Donna.

My love for food started early in my mom’s cozy kitchen, where Sunday dinners were a cherished ritual and dessert was never optional. Those moments around the table taught me that food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about connection, comfort, and creating memories that last.

Over the years, that childhood joy turned into a lifelong passion. Today, Cooking with Donna is my happy place—a space where I share the recipes, stories, and inspiration that fill my home (and hopefully yours too!).

Now in my 30s, I spend most of my days developing recipes, photographing delicious dishes, and sipping one too many cups of coffee while dreaming up my next bake. My cooking style is simple, seasonal, and always made with love. From cozy comfort food to fresh, feel-good favorites, I believe the best meals are the ones that bring people together.

When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll probably find me browsing farmers markets, flipping through well-worn family cookbooks, or curled up under a blanket with something sweet and homemade.

Thank you so much for being here. Whether you’re cooking along, exploring new recipes, or just soaking in a little kitchen inspiration, I hope Cooking with Donna feels like home.

Let’s make something delicious—together.

With love, 
Donna Taylor
