About Me – Chef Lora 🍽️💕

Welcome to Call Me Recipes! This page is all about Chef Lora, a passionate home cook and the heart behind every comforting dish on this blog. I may not be classically trained, but I found my love for food in the warmth of my family kitchen — and now I’m here to share it with you.

My Story Begins at Home

Like many others featured in a typical home cook story, my journey began as a young wife and new mom, standing at the stove. At first, I was unsure, but full of love. My goal was to nourish my husband and children with more than just meals. I hoped to give them comfort, joy, and lasting memories. Cooking quickly became my love language — every dish was my way of saying “I care about you.”

Inspired by Family Traditions

As the years passed, my kitchen became more than just a place to learn — it became a space filled with laughter, tradition, and togetherness. I began mastering the recipes my mother and grandmother once made. These were traditional American dishes that made you feel at home with just one bite — think warm casseroles, fluffy pancakes on Sunday mornings, buttery cornbread, and soul-filled holiday pies.

You’ll find many of those classics in our Comfort Food Recipes section or enjoy some morning inspiration with our Easy Breakfast Ideas. That’s what inspires me as a recipe blog author.

From Pot Roast to Passion

Soon, friends started asking for my recipes:

• “Lora, how’s your pot roast so tender?”
• “Can I get that cookie recipe?”

Over time, I became the go-to person for cooking tips. That’s when I realized I wanted to share the comfort of home-cooked meals with others. That’s how Call Me Recipes was born — and how I became the Call Me Recipes founder.

My Mission with Call Me Recipes

This website is my open cookbook — filled with the dishes that shaped my home and heart. My mission is to inspire women of all ages to rediscover the magic of homemade meals. You don’t need to be a pro — just cook with love. Home-cooked meals are proven to be healthier and more meaningful.
