Cooking at home can be stressful, especially when you’re tired, standing in the kitchen, and not sure what to make. In those moments, it’s easy to feel stuck before you even start.

Serena Wolf, a classically trained Le Cordon Bleu chef, bestselling author, and culinary instructor, believes cooking should be fun, flexible, and enjoyable. She encourages home cooks to think of recipes as invitations, not rigid rules.
