Kylee Cooks in the kitchen

Meet Kylee

Hi! Thanks for being here!

I am a born and raised New Zealander (a Kiwi), now living in the United States. I’m happily married to the love of my life, a mama to 2 awesome little boys and love red things, rugby, cheesecake, and bacon. Mmmmm. Bacon.

About This Site

The Kylee Cooks blog began in 2008. Newly married, and very recently emigrated to the USA and knowing nobody except my husband, the Kylee Cooks site was born as a way to connect me with my family and friends who always wanted the recipe for whatever I was cooking.

I discovered that not everyone is as comfortable in the kitchen as I am! I absolutely seek to change that – I believe that cooking is for everyone, and doesn’t have to be intimidating or use obscure ingredients. How many times have you seen a recipe and thought “omg, that’s way too hard” or “what is that ingredient?”. Yep, me too!!

The beginner and average cook can easily make the dishes on “Kylee Cooks” using ingredients available from most local grocery stores.

A long time foodie and cook, I bring approachable, affordable, tried-and-true recipes to the table!

“Kylee Cooks” focuses on tried-and-true recipes: weeknight meals, delicious breakfasts, bread making, and fabulous desserts to satisfy that sweet tooth. You’ll find awesome poultry, beef & pork recipes, plenty of vegetarian options (and a few vegan ones!). I love my crockpot and instant pot, and I’m always making new soup recipes!

I know you’ll find something to love here!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where are you from?

I was born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand. I now live in Arizona, in the United States of America with my family.

How did you get started?

My Mum involved me in the kitchen from a very early age - she was patient, kind, and generous with her time. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve being in the kitchen with her, or my grandmother. The bonus of that is -  she always let me lick the beaters!

I love to cook for my family, friends, and neighbors and think everything tastes better from scratch (but I'm so not opposed to taking shortcuts!)

How can I get in touch?
