Hello!!! I’m Cheyanne Holzworth-Bany – welcome to my little slice of the interwebs!
I am the puppy obsessed mother of one furry four-legged daughter and the doting wife to a Boy who has the best dimples on planet earth. I’m also 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 one of my true loves is the art of food.
My hobbies, aside from cooking and baking, include a whole lot of relaxation, going to the beach (Although I’m scared of the ocean. Don’t judge.), losing myself in a great book, and working out.
I spent nearly a decade as a pescatarian, until I decided to follow my passion for all things food (and all things crazy) and attend culinary school. While attending Le Cordon Bleu they quite literally forced me to eat poultry, meat, pork, snail, frog… basically if it walks or crawls the earth, and isn’t poisonous to eat, I had to try it. Truth be told, this cruel and unusual form of torture was one of the best things to happen to me. And, I now count duck confit, crispy frogs legs, and chicken liver as some of my favorite foods.
I started this blog because, honestly, there is no place I would rather be than in my kitchen and I have always loved sharing my passion for food, along with my experience with a variety of cuisines and recipes, with others.
My basic philosophy is, if you aren’t having fun in the kitchen, you are doing it all wrong!
I hope you’ll pour yourself a glass of wine (or three) and join me in my (virtual) SuBourbon Cottage Kitchen.
If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me at nospoonnecessary@gmail.com.
I’m thrilled you are here and hope you will stay awhile!
