Hi, I’m Linda — the soul behind Old Soul Recipes.
I’m a 51-year-old grandma, born and raised in sunny California, and I’ve spent most of my life cooking from the heart.

I believe every recipe tells a story — one of love, tradition, and the comfort of home. Growing up, my kitchen was always full of warm smells and louder laughter. My mom passed down the joy of slow cooking and simple pleasures, and I’ve carried that forward into my own life as a mother and now a grandma.

Whether it’s a handwritten pie recipe tucked in an old tin box or a Sunday casserole that feeds a family of ten, I treasure the flavors that remind us who we are and where we come from. On this site, you’ll find timeless recipes — many of them inspired by generations before me, with a sprinkle of California sunshine and a whole lot of soul.

I started Old Soul Recipes to share the dishes that have filled my family’s table — and my heart — for decades. This is more than just a food blog. It’s my way of keeping traditions alive and bringing you into my kitchen, one soulful bite at a time.

So whether you’re here for a slice of old-fashioned pie, a cozy stew, or just a bit of food nostalgia — welcome home.

With love,
Linda
