Join me for a stroll down memory lane as we celebrate 13 years since the launch of Just a Taste.
Thirteen years. I never imagined that starting a food blog on a whim would grow into what Just a Taste is today.
What began as a way to record my mom Noni’s best recipes has become a vibrant online destination and cooking community enjoyed by tens of millions of food lovers around the world. It still amazes me to think someone in Antarctica has visited this tiny corner of the web.
Each anniversary I dive into the data—I’m a self-proclaimed analytics nerd—so here’s a snapshot of Just a Taste over the past 13 years:
- 136 million visitors
- 43,000 comments
- 7,551 photos
- 1,086 recipes
- 1 cookbook
This past year brought many highlights, and topping the list was publishing The Secret Ingredient Cookbook. I spent two years researching, testing, and writing the book, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out.
There were plenty of fun, laugh-out-loud moments too, including TV appearances on E! and the Hallmark Channel. Below is a short recap of some favorite moments.
Thank you to the millions of Just a Taste fans around the world who have cooked from and shared my recipes. I started this journey to share my love of cooking with and for others, and seeing so many people embrace that mission brings me immense joy. Here’s to another 13 years of delicious moments on Just a Taste!
