About Us

Professional Wedding Pics 150 Hi!!

We’re Jen and Brady Bowman from Santa Barbara, CA. We met in 2003 while attending college at UCSB (University of California at Santa Barbara), and it was at this time we started to discover our passion for food and cooking. Over the years we have enjoyed spending time together while cooking and trying out new recipes. In August of 2007 we got married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony.

In September 2008 we began working on a cookbook that we wanted to give to our family and friends during the holiday season. The book is titled “Family of Cooks” and is made up of over 300 recipes from our personal collection, as well as recipes from family and friends. In the process of writing this cookbook our passion for creating and sharing recipes was ignited. This, combined with all of the positive feedback we have received, has led us to where we are now; creating our second cookbook and our first food blog! By no means are we professional chefs. We are simply a young couple who loves to share their passion of food with others. We look forward to embarking on this culinary adventure with you.

Let’s eat!

This is great! Your book “Family of Cooks” is a work of art. Had the chance to see it at the “Jarrot Botanic Garden” and could easily see the love of family and cooking shine through. Happy to share your site with family and friends
