Rachel grew up in a Pacific Northwest kitchen, learning Sunday roasts from her mother and pie crust from a grandmother who never wrote a recipe down. CookingZone began as a way to save her family's cooking before it was forgotten, and grew when her cousins started sending in their own. Her work covers foundational American, Italian, French, and Mexican recipes, with an emphasis on weekend baking, comfort food, and the techniques that span both European and American home kitchens.
