Welcome to SavoryPlate
I’m Jason Reed, a home-focused cook and recipe developer based in the United States. Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and now living in Portland, Oregon, I create simple, dependable recipes designed for real everyday cooking. SavoryPlate was created for home cooks who want satisfying meals that are easy to follow, full of flavor, and realistic for busy lives.
My approach to cooking has always been practical. I believe great food does not need to be complicated, expensive, or stressful. Cooking should feel approachable, flexible, and forgiving. Over time, I learned that the most reliable meals are the ones built around simple techniques, familiar ingredients, and clear instructions.
SavoryPlate exists to help you cook with confidence. The goal is straightforward: make everyday meals feel doable, comforting, and worth repeating, even on your busiest days.
At SavoryPlate, every recipe is developed with home cooks in mind. You’ll find meals that come together quickly, rely on ingredients you can actually find, and fit into real schedules. Whether you’re cooking for family, friends, or just yourself, my focus is on helping you get dinner on the table without overthinking it.
Food has a way of grounding us. SavoryPlate is here to make home cooking feel like a natural, dependable part of your routine.
My Cooking Journey
I didn’t learn to cook in a traditional culinary school. I learned by watching my grandmother cook Sunday dinners, by experimenting in small kitchens, and by feeding friends with whatever was available. Those early experiences shaped the way I cook today.
Over the years, I’ve focused on developing recipes that work in real home kitchens. Every recipe is tested for clarity, timing, and consistency. I pay close attention to texture, flavor, and balance, because small details make everyday meals better.
I believe confidence in the kitchen comes from simplicity and clear guidance. That’s why SavoryPlate recipes are written to be practical, straightforward, and easy to follow, even if you don’t consider yourself a confident cook.
