A Little About Me

  • Food & Cooking Background: Raised in the South, I grew up baking alongside my grandmother, learning family recipes, and mastering the art of cooking from scratch. My love for food started in childhood and grew into a lifelong passion.
  • Recipe Development Expertise: Iโ€™ve been developing, testing, and refining recipes for over 10 years, ensuring they are simple, approachable, and packed with flavor.
  • Food Photography & Content Creation: My photography style highlights real, home-cooked food with high-quality step-by-step visuals to guide you through every recipe.
  • Industry Recognition & Brand Collaborations: Iโ€™ve partnered with major food brands for sponsored content, recipe development, and food photography, establishing Simply LaKita as a trusted resource in the online food space.

Why Trust Simply LaKita?

With over a decade of experience in recipe development, food photography, and blogging, Iโ€™ve tested and perfected hundreds of recipes to help home cooks make delicious, foolproof meals without the stress.
