About Us
Because cooking is about food, but it’s also about so much more.
Our Story
Where It All Begins
I just walk into a kitchen and know when something is done, or needs 5 more minutes in the oven or needs to be tossed! I don’t have recipes… I cook by taste, texture, consistency, smell and looks ~ it’s a pinch of this, a squeeze of that and a smidge of something else all held together with a bit of insanity.
I love recreating meals for people that takes them back to their childhood….two of the best compliments came from clients who literally had tears in their eyes because they were able to close their eyes and were in their mother’s kitchen
I grew up on the farm with 4 boys, mom and dad….being the only girl I had to cook…there was no option….I just happen to love it!
I’m happiest in the kitchen creating new things and putting my own twist on recipes. I thrive on the insanity of it all and am exhausted and thrilled upon crushing a mad dinner rush in the kitchen. I’m not professionally trained, but trained by the school of hard knocks at home.
I live by my personal motto….”If you don’t go crazy once in a while, you’ll go insane” ~ Tracey Sawchuk

Casey P.
“Another wonderful experience”
"Tastebud Temptations is definitely a favorite of mine!! I love their fried green tomatoes (Tracey always spoils me with fresh, hot, yummy ones). The French fries, the sandwiches, the talipia, the chicken fried steak- I’ve never had anything there that wasn’t very very good. If you’ve never had her Christmas Crack Crackers you’re really missing something - that’s for sure."

"Speechless"
"Sunday brunch for this Mother’s Day was absolutely the BOMB. And BOMB is good. Guy from Diners, Drive-Inn and Dives should give them a visit. Every dish was fabulous. If you ain’t tried it yet, you’re missing out on a real treat. It’s not a large place, not a chain but darn it has great food. Tracey, you might just have to reserve me a private table!"
