ABOUT
Amy Joy’s purpose is to bring back the nostalgia of cooking in grandma’s kitchen, the love felt at family gatherings while bringing new life to generational recipes.
RECIPES FOR LIFE
Most of my summers growing up were spent with my grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-aunts, who all inspire my cooking style.
My grandmother always called me her "Amy Joy," and the memories of learning how to cook and make her signature dishes while simply watching over her shoulder enabled me to perfect my skills as an intuitive chef.
Our family gatherings were more than just celebrations for me. They were a time to witness my great aunt's culinary skills on display, as each member of the family brought their signature dish that had been perfected over time. While my cousins played until it was time to eat, I sat at the table, admiring the love each of them put into their dish. I quizzed them on what they did to make it just right!
That is how the true secret of recipes are passed along! It is through conversation and observation because many of their recipes were deep within the crevices of their souls, not in a book or on a piece of paper. As I watched and took mental notes, I was creating my own mental file of what to do or not to do. In between random dialogue and gossip, were the secrets to amazing dishes.
COOKING WITH JOY
Each blend in the Amy Joy's collection is inspired by their "lessons" and were created to craft the recipes that have passed down from generations.
Our goal is to return us all to a time when we gathered to celebrate, have a good time, and simply love one another in the community of family - both those who were chosen for us and those we chose ourselves. It is a reminder that food was the center of it all and has left us with a legacy of life, love, and JOY!
