Hello sweet friends,

Spring is peeking around the corner, and I can feel the stirrings of something new and wonderful in the air! The days are stretching just a little longer, the birds are singing a little louder, and the earth feels ready to bloom and honestly, so do I.

There are so many exciting things ahead that I can hardly keep still! First up, I’ve been quietly (and lovingly) working on a brand new website, a cozy little corner of the internet where we can gather, share stories, and recipes in true LilyLouTay fashion.

But that’s not all…

My very first cookbook is coming this fall! It’s been a dream in the making, full of heart, heritage, and good food that brings people together. I can’t wait to share it with you.Thank you for being here, for your kindness, encouragement, and company. This season feels like the start of something special, and I’m so glad we’re in it together.

With love and big hugs,

COMING SOON

About me

Meet Hannah

If I'm not barefoot in the backyard or digging around in the garden, you'll find me dancing in the kitchen with flour on my face and music blaring. The kitchen is my happy place, my heart spot. I cook with feeling, not precision, measuring with my heart and a whole lotta butter.
