Meet Sara Jackson
The first time I tried to cook on my own, I nearly set off the smoke alarm. A simple grilled cheese turned into a charred mess, and the kitchen smelled like burnt toast for days. But instead of giving up, I laughed, scraped off the worst bits, and took my first bite of what would become a lifelong love affair with cooking—not for perfection, but for the joy of creating something from scratch.
Growing up, my best memories happened in the kitchen. My grandmother’s hands dusted in flour as she shaped homemade biscuits, my dad flipping pancakes on lazy Sunday mornings, the family gathered around the table, passing dishes and laughter in equal measure. Food wasn’t just about eating—it was about connection, warmth, and sometimes, a little chaos.
But when I started cooking on my own, I quickly realized I wasn’t the “follow-the-recipe-exactly” type. I loved the thrill of experimenting—swapping ingredients, throwing in a pinch of this, a dash of that, and seeing what happened. Some meals turned out amazing, others… well, let’s just say my dog got a few unexpected treats.
That’s why I started Tangle Recipes—a space where cooking isn’t about perfection but about creativity, curiosity, and a little bit of beautiful mess. Here, we embrace the happy accidents, celebrate the unexpected flavors, and most of all, have fun in the kitchen.
If you’re the kind of cook who looks at a recipe and thinks, What if I add a little more garlic?—you’re in the right place.
So grab an apron, trust your instincts, and let’s make something delicious together.
