About Me:
Welcome to my website! My name is Ashton, but you might know me as JustLikeGranny on social media. I'm a 30-year-old home chef who's been cooking since I was just seven years old. My grandmother, Granny Sue, was the one who showed me the ropes in the kitchen, and I've been cooking ever since.
As a self-taught chef, I've honed my skills over the years by using my family's recipes as a basic guide. Cooking has always been therapeutic for me, and it's been a creative outlet where I can let my imagination run wild. I've always loved practicing and perfecting my craft, and I'm constantly on the lookout for new ingredients, techniques, and recipes to try.
One of the reasons I'm so passionate about cooking is because I come from a family of hard-working women who had to rely on their own skills in the kitchen to feed their families. As a disabled person living with type 1 diabetes, idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, and stage three kidney disease, cooking has been a way for me to take control of my health and well-being. It's a way for me to show others that even with limitations, you can still pursue your passions and dreams.
I've had the privilege of traveling all over the world, from up the East Coast to all over Europe. While I'm originally from Georgia, USA, I now reside in Sweden with my partner David of 10 years and our two cats Oscar and Olivia.
Recently, I found my foot in the door of cooking on TikTok, where I quickly grew in following size overnight with my viral recipe of Momma's Water Fried Potatoes. I'm so grateful for this platform, which has allowed me to connect with so many amazing people and brands.
Cooking is not just a hobby for me; it's a way of life. I hope to continue cooking for the rest of my life and make more amazing friends and work with more brands. Thank you for visiting my website, and I hope you'll stick around for more delicious recipes and culinary adventures!
I thought I'd share a few personal touches that I think will help you get to know me a little better.
First of all, I absolutely adore the Farmhouse/Cottage Core style. There's something so warm and inviting about natural textures, rustic finishes, and muted colors that just speaks to my soul. I try to incorporate this style into my cooking and my website design whenever I can.
One of my all-time favorite foods is my mother's Sunday roast. It's a recipe that's been passed down through generations of hard-working women in my family, and every time I make it, I feel like I'm honoring their legacy. I think it's so important to keep family traditions alive, and that's something that I try to do in both my cooking and my personal life.
As for my favorite flavors, I'm a big fan of cherry and grape. There's just something about those sweet and tangy flavors that I find irresistible. And when it comes to relaxing, there's nothing I love more than taking a nap on a sunny afternoon with the windows open and a gentle breeze blowing through the house. It's pure bliss!
I hope these personal touches have given you a sense of who I am and what I'm all about. Thanks for stopping by, and I can't wait to share more of my culinary adventures with you!
