Hi friends, and welcome back to the Betty Eatz Podcast! In every episode, you learn about identifying good recipes and avoiding untested AI-created disasters. Plus, you get to hear the backstory of your favorite food writers, recipe developers, food bloggers, and cookbook authors.

My guest today is Sheryl O'Connell, a recipe developer, long-time self-taught home cook, and food writer of the popular newsletter Just Really Good Recipes.

What began as an online collection of recipes for her kids has exponentially grown into a community of home cooks all over the world who appreciate her reliably delicious and globally inspired recipes!

Sheryl and I had such a wonderful time chatting about

* How she taught herself to cook and the pleasure it brings to both her and her family.

* Her new “Buy This, Make That” series that was originally designed to help her son efficiently grocery shop and prepare multiple meals, but now helps others do it, too.

* The global cuisines that inspire her in her recipe development.

* What she is most excited about right now (hint: it’s called “Recipe Vault!”).

Plus, she shares her tried-and-true, everyone-asks-for, recipe: Mediterranean-inspired Fetteh Bowl with Spiced Chicken!
