I have some fun news to share with you! With TikTok now in American hands, I’ve decided to step into this new space and begin sharing there with Mary’s Nest on TikTok. I’ve always believed in meeting you where you are, and this feels like a wonderful opportunity to continue our traditional foods journey together in a fun way.

Bringing My Traditional Kitchen to TikTok
Over on TikTok, I’ll be bringing you all the things we love—simple, nourishing, traditional cooking. From rich, gelatinous bone broth to bubbly ferments, from cozy sourdough loaves to baking with ancient grains, it’s all coming with me.
These will be little glimpses into my traditional kitchen—easy, approachable, and rooted in the time-honored ways of our ancestors that bring such comfort and goodness to our home-cooked meals.
Little Lessons, Big Impact
I’m especially excited because short-form videos allow me to share helpful tips, quick techniques, and little bits of kitchen wisdom that can make all the difference no matter where you are on your traditional foods journey.
Whether you’re just getting started or have been cooking this way for years, I hope these videos will feel like a friendly visit—encouraging you every step of the way.
Join Me on TikTok
So if you happen to be on TikTok, I would love for you to join me there. We’ll continue building our cozy, traditional foods community—one simple recipe and one heartfelt moment at a time. (But don’t worry, I’ll still be producing all my long-form content on YouTube!)
