“YourGoToRecipes’ Personality”

Welcome to Your Go-To Recipes, a culinary haven where food enthusiasts can find inspiration, guidance, and mouthwatering recipes to elevate their cooking game.

Hi there! I’m April Hart, a 41-year-old chef living in the heart of Asheville.

My journey with food didn’t start in a professional kitchen or at culinary school. It began at my grandmother’s house in, standing on a wooden stool beside her while she stirred pots and told stories. She had a way of turning simple ingredients into magic, and though I didn’t know it at the time, she was sowing the seeds of a lifelong love affair with cooking.

I spent years only cooking for friends and family on the weekends, Trying different recipes, banana breads when I was feeling nostalgic. Eventually, what started as a comforting ritual turned into a calling I couldn’t ignore. I took a leap of faith and enrolled in a local culinary program. Which later allowed me to pair my passion for blogging and food together, and present it in bite sized blogs for my readers.

I now blend my Southern roots with a curiosity for global flavors. I believe food should be joyful, a little playful, and above all, shared. My kitchen is a judgment-free zone—whether you’re learning how to poach an egg or perfecting your sourdough, I’m right there with you, cheering you on (and probably sneaking a bite).

When I’m not cooking, you’ll find me foraging mushrooms, chasing our golden retriever through the garden, or curled up with a mystery novel and a mug of chai.
