Who We Are

FoodishTalk is a home-cooking and recipe blog founded and edited by Ava Williams, a self-taught cook, food photographer, and flavor-chaser based in Hillsboro, Oregon. What started in 2018 as a digital recipe box for family favorites has grown into a vibrant community of readers who love exploring bold flavors, seasonal produce, and approachable techniques.


Our Mission

To help everyday cooks feel confident, creative, and connected—one recipe at a time.

We do this by:

  1. Demystifying techniques with step-by-step photos and clear instructions.

  2. Celebrating global flavors while using ingredients you can actually find in a neighborhood grocery store.

  3. Promoting mindful cooking—from reducing food waste to sourcing ethically whenever possible.

  4. Fostering community through comments, newsletter conversations, and our monthly “Cook-Along Challenge.”
