About

Welcome I’m Laureen creator of Art and the Kitchen. Here you will find tried and true recipes for the everyday cook from homestyle comfort food to exquisite gourmet meals!

Delicious recipes that include family favorites and treasured recipes that have been handed down from my Mom, Grandma and friends.

My son encouraged me to start a food blog when he left home to go to University, so in 2012 I created Art and the Kitchen. He loved the idea of having an online recipe book of his favorite meals! He has become a great cook and can even make a fantastic cheesecake!

My Grandmother was an incredible inspiration to me. She was a lady of simple means who lived on the farm, grew an enormous garden and baked the most delicious bread. My Mom also had great influence in my life. She was an amazing baker and on my blog you will find many of her sweet recipes.

I came up with the name for my blog “Art and the Kitchen” from my love of cooking and my interest in painting and photography. Another passion of mine is gardening. I have a huge vegetable garden and many flower gardens. My collection of lilies, roses and tulips are impressive.

After living in Alberta most of my adult life, and three years in Jacksonville Florida, we moved to my old home town, Humboldt, Saskatchewan. Our home is on a beautiful half acre property. I finally have my huge vegetable garden and ever increasing flower gardens.

My husband, Wayne and I have been married for 34 years. We met while both working for CN Rail. Since I began blogging his question is always “are we eating now or do I have to wait until you take photos”.

I hope you enjoy trying my recipes and following my journey at Art and the Kitchen.
