About Clara Bennett
Home Cook, Recipe Developer, & Founder of My Kitchens Point
I’m a recipe developer, seasonal cooking enthusiast, and the founder of My Kitchens Point. I live in a cozy home in the American Heartland with my husband, our two grown children who visit often, and our very spoiled Golden Retriever, Daisy.
Since I began sharing my kitchen journey, my mission has been to provide reliable, “tried and true” recipes that honor the seasons. I believe that a recipe is more than just a list of ingredients it is an invitation to create memories. I help home cooks put delicious, family-tested dinners on the table without the stress, focusing on the simple joys of a home-cooked meal.
Over the years, mykitchenspoint.com has grown into a supportive community of home cooks who value authenticity and tradition. My recipes are designed to be easy to follow, ensuring that whether you are cooking a quiet Sunday dinner or hosting a holiday crowd, you can feel confident and inspired in your kitchen.
My approach to cooking is simple: celebrate the seasonal US harvest, cherish the flavors of our childhood, and always cook with a heart full of love.
My Expertise
Growing up, I spent hours watching my mother and grandmother work their magic over the stove, especially with their handwritten recipe cards and the tradition of Sunday family dinners. Those early lessons taught me that the best food isn’t just about the ingredients, but the love and patience you put into the process.
As a self-taught home cook myself, I’m fiercely dedicated to providing well-tested, reliable recipes and sharing everything I’ve learned along the way. Before I post a new recipe on My Kitchens Point, you can feel confident that I have already tested it dozens of times in my own kitchen to ensure it works for yours. This is why mykitchenspoint.com has become a trusted resource for anyone who wants to cook a homemade, “tried and true” meal from scratch that every generation will enjoy.
My Journey
Born and raised in the suburbs of Ohio, I settled in the heart of the Midwest after graduating from university with a degree in Communications and a focus on Marketing. While I spent the early years of my career in the corporate world, my heart was always in the kitchen, experimenting with the “tried and true” flavors of my childhood.
Just a few years after launching my blog, My Kitchens Point, I decided to leave the corporate desk behind to build this site into the helpful resource it is today. Since then, I’ve written, photographed, and published hundreds of home-cooked recipes, focusing on the seasonal US ingredients that bring the best flavor to the table.
Over the years, I’ve cultivated a reputation for reliable recipe testing. I understand how important it is for a meal to turn out perfectly every time, especially when cooking for family and friends. That is why every recipe you find here has undergone multiple rounds of refinement in my own kitchen before I ever share it with you.
Each recipe on mykitchenspoint.com includes clear, step-by-step instructions and helpful kitchen tips. My goal is for you to feel confident and successful in your kitchen, whether you are a beginner cook or a seasoned pro who has been at the stove for decades.
At My Kitchens Point, our mission is to bring you a variety of dishes that are not only appetizing but also accessible to cooks of all skill levels. Whether you’re looking for a quick weeknight dinner, a healthy snack, or a spectacular dessert to impress your family, you’ll find “tried and true” recipes here that will become staples in your kitchen.
Each recipe on My Kitchens Point is crafted with care, tested repeatedly in Clara’s own kitchen, and shared with her warm, encouraging narratives to ensure you can recreate them with ease and confidence. From savory meals to sweet treats, our recipes reflect a blend of traditional American flavors and seasonal twists that cater to diverse tastes all while being presented in a format that is easy to read for every generation.
