Let’s talk cooking with Lora

Meet Chef Lora–The Heart and Soul of Call Me Recipes

About Me – Chef Lora 🍽️💕

Hello and welcome! I’m Lora, the heart and hands behind Call Me Recipes. I didn’t train in fancy kitchens. I’m a homegrown cook who found her love for food in the warmth of her family kitchen.

My story begins like many others — 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 became my love language. Every meal was a way to say “I care about you.”

As the years passed, my kitchen became more than just a place to learn. It turned into a space filled with laughter, traditions, 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 holiday pies made with soul.

Soon, friends began asking for 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 when Call Me Recipes was born.

This website is my open cookbook — I’ve filled it 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.

Here, you’ll find traditional American recipes, passed down or reimagined, made simple for busy lives. I believe cooking isn’t just about food. It’s about bringing people together, healing through flavor, and preserving the stories that matter.

Whether you’re cooking for your little ones, your partner, or aging parents — or just for yourself after a long day — I hope you find a little warmth here. This kitchen is mine, but now it’s yours too.

“🍽️ Mom makes food taste better 👩‍🍳 — especially when she cooks with her heart ❤️.”

With all my heart,
Chef Lora
