Hey! I'm Chenée (pronounced shuh-NAY), and I love cooking and baking! I grew up watching family members prepare everything from cherished soul food recipes to quick weeknight dinners to elaborate birthday cakes. As I got older, I began experimenting myself with baking and I loved sharing my creations with friends and family! Along the way, I've learned so much about baking techniques, flavor combinations, and what it really takes to make a delicious creation without spending all day in the kitchen!
About Chenée Today
Chenée Today was born because I am certain that anyone can boost their confidence in the kitchen and achieve amazing results without tons of time and effort! My goal is to provide easily accessible recipes for sweet and savory dishes, snacks, and especially desserts! I believe that sharing a recipe can bring anyone together.
Here, you'll find over 250 recipes that are easy to follow, impressive on your table, and most of all -- absolutely delicious!
And who doesn't love options? That's why I include collections of many of the delicious recipes I've found all over the web, like my 40 Recipes with Brown Butter, my 45 Best Cookies for a Cookie Exchange, my 40 Biscoff Recipes You Need to Try or my collection of the Best Gluten Free Dairy Free Cookies Recipes!
And it's not just recipes -- I'm so happy to share the knowledge that I've gained over my years in the kitchen with my Baking Tips series, covering everything you need to make every recipe right the first time! Articles like Measuring Baking Ingredients Accurately: A Guide or Berrylicious: Expert tips to make your summer berries last are designed to help you get great results and make your kitchen life easier.
I also believe strongly that becoming a better baker or home cook starts with having the right tools. Which is why on my My Favorite Kitchen & Baking Tools page, I share all of my favorite basic tools, specialty gadgets, and time-saving equipment that will level up your kitchen game! I also include equipment and tools links in every recipe post to every tool you'll need to make the recipe come out perfectly!
