Hi, I'm Madison!

I’m the owner and operator of Home Cooking Simplified, where I offer personalized hands-on culinary training. Which is just a fancy way of saying that I am your kitchen mentor!

If you’re sick of cooking the same few things over and over again..

If you’re tired of not knowing what to cook daily, or even weekly…

If you’re a chronic recipe follower and not sure how to step out of your comfort zone to create delicious meals on your own….

Help is here! – I will guide you toward adding some spice to your life and help you come up with meals you will be proud of!

I address and tackle these, and other common struggles and challenges people often experience in the kitchen.



My mission is to help sharpen your skills, get you out of that cooking rut, find inspiration, explore and try new things, and teach you how to be more confident overall!


I aim to help normal every-day people, like myself, in a real-life setting answer the ever-present, nagging question: “What the heck am I going to cook for dinner?!”



My aim is to help you think of cooking as less of a chore and reduce the stress it may cause in your life and mental space.

I work with you one-on-one to learn what your specific needs and goals are in the kitchen, and help you achieve them. 


 I don’t like taking a “one apron fits all” approach to cooking because not everyone has the same needs or interests — or wears the same kind of apron. Instead, I’ll work with you (and your schedule) to help figure out how to ease your kitchen anxieties and frustrations in a way that caters specifically to your goals.

Lets chat about how to get you on the track to fun and easy long-term results!

I have been in the kitchen since I was a little girl — for as long as I can remember. I fell in love with cooking and never looked back! Let me help you achieve a stress-free relationship with cooking!
