Experience

Lou Perseghin is a stay-at-home Dad, a home cook with 15+ years of experience, and a culinary content creator. From learning how to make cast iron scrambled eggs at 9, his current cooking practice is rooted in and inspired by weekly farmers market trips, seasonal produce, improvisational "use-it-up" meals, and curious everyday eating. Though his sweet spot is weeknight dinners & meal planning/prep, his years of teaching campfire/outdoor cooking deeply inform his approach in the kitchen.

Lou cooks for his family most nights of the week, often livestreaming the process for a community of culinary enthusiasts and friends.

Most Beloved Cooking Tool: "It’s a showdown between my bench scraper and cast iron pan. The bench scraper goes way beyond dough duty at home, while the cast iron pan is indispensable when campfire cooking is on the agenda."
