About

Welcome to Fork in the Kitchen, I’m so glad you’re here!

Becca holding a glass of wine and laughing.

My name is Becca. I’m the voice, creator, and CEO of taste testing here at Fork in the Kitchen. In 2015, it started out as a hobby to explore my passion for cooking and photography and quickly filled every spare minute of my weeknights and weekends. Fast forward five years and I transitioned from being in front of my first-grade classroom to being full-time behind my camera, computer, and a whole lotta dishes.

Vegetarian Recipes Everyone Will Love

Here at Fork in the Kitchen, you’ll find elevated, approachable, (mostly) vegetarian recipes that everyone will love. From dinner recipes, breakfast recipes, and everyone’s favorite vegetarian appetizers, you’re bound to find a recipe that meets your needs!

I fully believe that cooking for your family, friends, or yourself, doesn’t have to be overly complicated and time-consuming, and making meatless meals shouldn’t lack flavor, texture, or excitement.

I’m here to showcase that vegetarian meals are anything but boring.

At Fork in the Kitchen, you’ll be inspired by flavorful vegetarian dishes that are easy AND impressive. You’ll find yourself exclaiming “wow, that was so much easier than I expected!”

I approach recipes from the view that meals are best when made with wholesome, fresh ingredients, AND that food and life, are ultimately about balance. So sometimes we’ll use cornflakes as a garnish and bake with frozen puff pastry dough and take recipe shortcuts because we need quick, delicious recipes.

Oh, and FITK operates with the core value that food absolutely tastes better when it’s made while dancing and when it’s enjoyed with those you love. So let’s turn up the music, pour a glass of wine, and get in the kitchen!

About Me

I currently live in Minneapolis, MN, and while my life mostly revolves around food, I also love being in nature, snuggling up with a good book, and game nights.

I’m obsessed with popcorn, garlic, and bagels. I also love to travel. My favorite way to learn about food is through travel, exploring cultures through their favorite dishes. Sharing that experience with others (that includes you!) is one of my absolute favorite things.
