Sydnee Cooke, wearing a white blouse, stands in her kitchen holding a patterned blue bowl filled with bright green pasta topped with pancetta and pine nuts. She’s tasting a bite with a spoon, looking thoughtfully at the dish. A glass of white wine rests by the sink, and shelves behind her hold plants and ceramic dishes, adding a cozy, homey feel.

Hi, I’m Sydnee Cooke.

Here you’ll find food that feels elevated but doable, a home that’s thoughtful and lived-in, a garden that’s as much about joy as it is about harvest, and gatherings that value connection over perfection. It’s about building a lifestyle filled with the little details and rituals that make you love how you live.

I’m glad you’re here. And no, you don’t have to grow your own herbs, but if you do... I’ll show you how not to kill them.
