Behind the blog

How it all started

I’ve always been a huge foodie! Growing up, my mom, who is the best cook I know, made sure I was always well fed, maybe even a little too well fed. Being surrounded by good food naturally made me curious, and I eventually wanted to try cooking and baking for myself.

What started as curiosity quickly turned into something I genuinely fell in love with. I began experimenting in the kitchen and learning through trial and error, which eventually led me to start a small home bakery, @saltery.atx, where I shared my love for salt bread with my local community.

I wanted a way to share that love for baking and cooking even more, and social media became that outlet. I’m not a professionally trained chef, just someone who loves experimenting, learning new cuisines and techniques, and sharing what I discover along the way. One day, I hope to turn Saltery into a brick-and-mortar bakery and pursue formal culinary or pastry training. Until then, I hope you’ll explore my recipes and follow along on the journey.
