No Spoon Necessary

Seasonal Recipes & Unique Twists on Classic Dishes

About

Hello!!! I’m Cheyanne Holzworth-Bany and I am the author of this blog. Welcome to my little slice of the internet!

About me

I’m an avid foodie and have a moderate to severe obsession with fresh seasonal ingredients and whole foods. My favorite place is our kitchen, cooking is my passion and I absolutely love the art of food.

I am a culinary school graduate with a degree in culinary arts. I graduated with high honors from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School. I also have years of experience working in professional kitchens.

I started No Spoon Necessary in 2014. I was tired of the crazy hours working in restaurants, and I wanted to share my passion for cooking, love of developing recipes and kitchen adventures with others. I believe cooking should be fun, meals should be delicious and I hope No Spoon Necessary is a place for you to find inspiration!

My basic philosophies are have fun in the kitchen and eat like there is no tomorrow!

Fun facts:

  • Growing up I was an incredibly picky eater and I spent nearly a decade as a pescatarian before attending culinary school. However, I now count duck confit, crispy frogs legs, and chicken liver as some of my favorite foods. As well as sushi, because raw fish will always be LIFE!
  • I am a puppy obsessed mother of two furry four-legged daughters and a doting wife to a Boy who has the best dimples on planet earth.
  • I’m unfortunately allergic to cocoa which means no chocolate for me. (Well, that piece of information isn’t fun, but it is a fact.)

What you will find on No Spoon Necessary

I share sensational seasonal recipes that focus on flavor. I enjoy taking classic, traditional recipes and putting a fun, unique twist on the them!

I believe food should never be boring or bland, however it should be easy to prepare!

The recipes on No Spoon Necessary contain detailed, easy to read instructions as well as equipment required and nutritional information!  I am currently working on getting step-by-step photos and in-depth videos on every single recipe!
