About Us
Hi! We’re Evelyn and Matt – the team behind CookUpJoy.com. I (Evelyn) am the main voice, cook, and recipe creator here, and Matt is my partner in life, taste-testing, tech support, and everything in between. Together, we’ve built this blog as a place to share the joy we find in everyday cooking.
My love for food started over 27 years ago, when I was just a little girl cooking beside my grandmother. Those early moments sparked something that stayed with me for life – the idea that food is about more than just feeding people. It’s about connection, creativity, and care.
Matt came into the picture with a curiosity for flavor and a practical eye. He’s the one who’s always asking, “Can we make this easier?” or “What if we try it this way?” While I bring tradition and heart, Matt brings balance, simplicity, and a helpful dose of logic to everything we cook and share.
