The gal behind the blog Hi there, I’m Jess!

I’m the flavor-obsessed founder and recipe developer behind Plays Well With Butter! My love of cooking was shaped by years working in fine-dining restaurants, and I’ve spent the past 10+ years exploring how to make exceptional food work for everyday life. Here on PWWB, you’ll find smart techniques and thoroughly tested recipes you’ll be excited to make again and again. So glad you’re here!

The bowl is surrounded by a burnt orange colored linen napkin, a small ceramic bowl filled with shaved parmesan, and a few loose sprigs of fresh thyme. Two gold spoons rest inside of the bowl for serving.
