Welcome to That’s My Home, a place where foodies, cooking enthusiasts, and home chefs alike come together to celebrate all things delicious.

This is a spot to make cooking fun, simple, and truly inspiring. You might be whipping up your very first dish or diving into fresh, creative ideas after years in the kitchen; every moment here sparks a new cooking adventure, turning your home into a haven for amazing meals. 

How That’s My Home Was Born

It all started when Mary Ellen, tinkering with a new dessert in her Savannah kitchen, caught the eye of Michael Rivera, who was hosting a virtual bread-making workshop from San Francisco. 

Their online chats turned into lengthy conversations about making sophisticated cooking fun and approachable. 

Inspired by each other’s enthusiasm and expertise, they joined forces to create That’s My Home – a welcoming space where anyone can discover the joy of cooking, blending gourmet techniques with a dash of everyday simplicity.
