Welcome to Recipe Designery

Donna is the founder and manager of Recipe Designery.  She is a lifelong cook. She learned inside of the kitchens of her mother, an aunt, and a close family friend. Her earliest memories in the kitchen are about being so small that she had to climb up on a stool to help.

The kitchen is her favorite room of the house. If you ask her "Why?" she will say,  "It is the place where all the MAGIC happens."  

As an adult, she has become a foodie, always eating local cuisine in her travels, and visiting fine dining restaurants whenever the opportunity presents itself, including Michelin starred restaurants and a few James Beard finalists.

Her love of food has led her to explore multiple cuisines and master many of the world's most beloved dishes. 

When her son was diagnosed with a gluten allergy in 2002, she was unexpectedly pushed into the world of gluten-free cooking.

She has a strong commitment to creating exceptional recipes, believing in the importance of sourcing high-quality ingredients, organic ingredients and supporting local suppliers.

She believes that recipes  join those loved, those lost, and those that are present for each meal.

Pull up a chair, pour something warm to drink, and let's cook something beautiful together.
