Our Story
We are self-taught cooks and bakers who are passionate about teaching others to have fun in the kitchen. Here's a little of our story and how we got into food blogging.
Brooke has been cooking for her family for over 26 years. She is a passionate teacher who has homeschooled her three daughters for over 20 years, and has cooked for church functions for over a decade. Her recipes have been featured on Oprah Magazine, Fox 47 News, Parade, and Town & Country Magazine.
Graduating from high school three years early gave Emma time to start baking and teaching herself food photography. Emma was a Contributing Editor for the children's mineral magazine Mini Miners Monthly, and has been teaching the Adobe Creative Cloud software since 2018. Now, her recipes and food photography have been featured in Delish, Parade, BuzzFeed, The Guardian, and Insider.
Brooke’s other two daughters, Beth and Alex, love being the official taste testers. You'll see their reviews on almost every one of our recipes!
Our Blog
Both Brooke and Emma do recipe prep, development, and writing for Savor the Flavour.
Brooke does the managing, scheduling, bookkeeping and the analytics end of blogging, while Emma does all the food photography, videography, social media, and WordPress management. We are grateful to work in a niche that we love, and we enjoy working together.
