Welcome to Margo’s Kitchen! I’m so glad you’re here. This cozy corner of the internet is where I explore North America through books, travel, and recipes. Much of that exploration involves rediscovering recipes from the past and tasting foods during my travels — so you’ll find plenty of posts about cooking and kitchen adventures!
These pages are also a place to celebrate the books, history, people, and traditions that have shaped homes and kitchens across North America.
Books and recipes tell stories in their own ways — about families gathered around tables, communities growing together, and moments worth remembering. Whether it’s uncovering a forgotten recipe from a 19th-century cookbook, exploring how a region’s history flavors its food, or learning a dish from a friend’s kitchen, I’m endlessly inspired by the ways stories and meals connect us.
Here, you’ll find a blend of literary exploration, regional flavor, and simple, heartfelt cooking. I’m a home cook who loves preparing wholesome meals for — and with — my favorite people. I hope this space feels like an open kitchen, where you can pull up a chair, share your stories, and feel at home.
I’d love to hear from you, too. Tell me about the books you love and the recipes you cherish. Margo’s Kitchen is a place for all of us — where every story, and every recipe, is better when shared.
