Meet Sara Jackson

Hi, I’m Sara, the cook, creator, and chaos-embracer behind Tangle Recipes. If you’ve ever stood in the kitchen staring at a pile of ingredients, wondering how on earth they’ll come together into a meal—you’re not alone. I’ve been there too! But through plenty of happy accidents, some kitchen disasters, and a whole lot of experimenting, I’ve learned that cooking doesn’t have to be perfect to be delicious.

Growing up, food was always at the center of my favorite memories—gathering around the table, laughing over a slightly burnt dish (oops!), and watching family recipes come to life. But when I started cooking on my own, I quickly realized that following recipes exactly wasn’t always my style. I loved experimenting, adding unexpected twists, and making meals work with whatever I had in my pantry. Some turned out amazing, and others… well, let’s just say not every experiment makes it to the blog!

I created Tangle Recipes to celebrate that same sense of creativity, curiosity, and joyful messiness in the kitchen. Cooking isn’t about perfection—it’s about exploring flavors, making mistakes, and having fun along the way.

My Kitchen Philosophy

Cooking should be fun, stress-free, and full of flavor! Whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced home cook, I want you to feel inspired to get creative in the kitchen. Forget the pressure of making things look “perfect”—some of the best meals come from happy accidents!

On this blog, we’re more than just a food blog, we’re a community of food lovers who believe in making delicious meals without the stress. So grab an apron, pour yourself a cup of something good, and let’s make something amazing together!

Happy cooking!
💛 Sara
