Hi , I am Jan
The Meal Prep Maid
Family
My daughter has been culinary trained by Johnson and Wales University, I learn so much from her. Together we publish Love of Food Magazine and co-manage a very active Facebook group and Instagram account called LoveofFood NC.
My husband supports all my crazy ideas. I make him taste all my experiments so it is a good thing he likes to eat. He also publishes a barbecue blog and Facebook group called All BBQ. You can see why I say food surrounds my life.
My dog is my constant companion as I write, cook, and design. He came into my life as a rescue when he was just six weeks old.
Friends
I am fortunate to have great friends who will take part in all my antics, like a pickling party.
Sometimes I get them to wear our promotional gear and or pose for my cover photos.
Sometimes they bring their entire dinner table and place settings for a Thanksgiving Dinner shoot in August
Tribe
I love to hang out with and support women and a few men who understand and make a living with food. Personal chefs, food entrepreneurs, authors, actors. These people are my tribe, I feel so happy when I am around them and we all have a great time.
Videos
My first ever food video was over 6 years ago
A more recent video in 2021
Hopefully, all of this has let you get to know me a bit better. I obviously love food. I have a background in training adult learners and I am food safety certified. I hope to get to know you too!
