Welcome to my pantry—the most important place in my home, where all the wonderful ingredients for a delicious meal and irresistible aromas come together. I’m truly humbled that you took some time out of your day to stop by and check in with me. Please, grab one of your favorite ingredients as I stir up this stew and introduce myself.

I’m Angierach, but friends and family call me Angie—a much easier name to pronounce, since mine tends to stump people and often brings a laugh! I love traveling, interior decorating, motivational coaching, and, of course, cooking. My pantry and kitchen are where my creativity comes alive and where the flavors of every meal are inspired.

You might be wondering how I learned to cook. Well, I am both self-taught and mom-taught! Growing up in Liberia as the eldest daughter, cooking was one of my primary responsibilities. I started learning in the kitchen under my mother’s guidance before the age of ten. Now, as a mother myself, I continue to honor family recipes and home-cooked traditions—yummy meals that carry love and heritage.

I reside in Houston, Texas with my family. One of my favorite Liberian dishes is Torborgee Soup (“Tor-bor-Gee”) served with jasmine rice and spices. I enjoy tea more than coffee, and my go-to fitness routine includes jumping jacks, squats, planks, and dancing—gym sessions bore me quickly, but dance keeps me moving and having fun! Music, documentaries, African comedy, and short clips bring laughter and balance to my life. I also enjoy exploring cookbooks from different cultures and spending quality time with my beautiful family.
