Behind the blog

How it all started

This Nana Can Cook began in my home kitchen, inspired by generations of women who believed cooking was a way to care for others.

I grew up around handwritten recipes, well-used pans, and meals that brought comfort on both ordinary and special days. Over time, friends and family began asking for my recipes — and that encouragement led to the creation of This Nana Can Cook.

Today, this blog is where those traditions continue, updated for modern kitchens while staying true to their roots.
