Hi! I’m Nancy Smith, the founder and recipe creator behind MyCookPoint.com.
I’ve always believed that good food is about more than just flavor. It’s about who you’re sitting with at the table. Some of my favorite memories come from simple meals shared with family — nothing fancy, just homemade dishes, laughter, and stories that stretched long after the plates were empty.
My love for cooking started in my own kitchen, experimenting with everyday ingredients and learning from both successes and mistakes. I wasn’t born knowing how to cook perfectly. I learned step by step — sometimes the hard way — by overcooking chicken, under-seasoning soups, and trying again until I got it right. That journey is exactly why I created MyCookPoint.
Why I Started MyCookPoint
When I was learning to cook, I often felt overwhelmed. Some recipes skipped steps. Others assumed I already knew certain techniques. I realized many beginners just need clear guidance, practical tips, and reassurance that it’s okay to learn as you go.
So I built MyCookPoint to be the kind of resource I wish I had when I started:
- Clear, step-by-step recipes
- Simple ingredients you can actually find
- Helpful cooking tips that explain the “why,” not just the “how”
- Encouragement for beginners who want to feel confident in the kitchen
