Windy City Dinner Fairy

Nicole is the chef and photographer behind the scenes here, and she is passionate about sharing easy recipes and entertaining ideas for her family.

Her journey with cooking began many years ago. Coming from a family of swimmers, healthy and filling meals were so important in her house. In between practices, they would sit down for a family dinner almost every night of the week.

She enrolled in professional culinary school and after years of cooking in the restaurant industry, her passion for food ultimately led her here. Now she’s a busy momma and juggles chasing her toddler in between cooking and photographing beautiful food.

On this blog, you’ll find easy dinner recipes, cooking techniques to make you look like a pro, culinary inspiration, and tips to help you entertain beautifully.
