About Us
Forkful Kitchen is your trusted destination for recipes that blend creativity, comfort, and global inspiration. Founded by Chef Liam Carter, our mission is to make home cooking approachable, flavorful, and deeply satisfying.
Every dish we share is designed to help you cook with confidence — combining classic techniques, fresh ingredients, and a touch of modern flair. One delicious forkful at a time, we’re here to inspire your next meal.
Today, Forkful Kitchen is where I bring everything I’ve learned into one space — blending classical techniques with a modern, relaxed approach to everyday meals. Every recipe is tested and written to empower home cooks to trust their instincts, experiment boldly, and cook with confidence.
For me, food has always been about connection. It’s about gathering around the table, sharing stories, and finding joy in the process — one forkful at a time.
Our Story
I’m Liam Carter, the chef and founder of Forkful Kitchen. Based in Portland, Oregon, I created this space to celebrate the beauty of approachable, flavor-driven cooking. After more than 20 years in kitchens around the world, I’ve learned that great food doesn’t need to be complicated — it just needs to be made with balance, care, and creativity.
My journey began in London, where I trained in classical European cuisine and fell in love with the rhythm of professional kitchens. From there, my curiosity took me to Italy, where I explored the simplicity of regional ingredients; to Thailand, where I learned the power of bold, layered flavor; and across the United States, where I discovered the comfort of home-style cooking.
Each of those experiences shaped how I cook and how I teach. I’ve seen that the best recipes are the ones that bring people together — dishes that carry a story, evoke a memory, or create a new one. Whether it’s a rustic pasta, a fragrant curry, or a simple roast chicken, my goal has always been to make food that feels real, grounded, and joyful.
Forkful Kitchen began as a creative journal during my travels — a place to jot down flavor notes, plating ideas, and cultural influences. Over time, it evolved into something bigger: a community for home cooks who share a love for global flavors and simple, soulful cooking.

Liam Carter
Chef & Founder of Forkful Kitchen
I’m Liam Carter, the chef and creative mind behind Forkful Kitchen. With over 20 years of global culinary experience, my passion for cooking has taken me from bustling hotel kitchens to intimate home dining experiences around the world.
My journey began in London, where I trained in classical European cuisine before expanding my skills through culinary work in Italy, Thailand, and the United States. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep respect for local ingredients, seasonal produce, and the stories that connect us through food.
My cooking philosophy is simple: food should be approachable, flavorful, and memorable. I believe that great meals don’t require complicated techniques — just heart, balance, and creativity. That belief is what inspired me to start Forkful Kitchen: a space where home cooks can learn, grow, and rediscover the joy of cooking.
Every recipe I share is personally developed and tested to ensure success in real home kitchens. My goal is to help you cook confidently and creatively, whether you’re preparing a quick weeknight dinner or hosting a special gathering.
Outside the kitchen, I enjoy exploring new flavor combinations, mentoring young chefs, and teaching local cooking classes. For me, food isn’t just about what’s on the plate — it’s about connection, comfort, and community.

I’m Emma Brooks, a recipe developer and food storyteller passionate about creating dishes that bring people together. With over 15 years of experience in both professional and home kitchens, I’ve learned that great food doesn’t need to be complicated — it just needs to be made with love and intention.
My cooking philosophy is rooted in simplicity, comfort, and connection. I draw inspiration from farmers’ markets, seasonal produce, and family gatherings, blending rustic flavors with a touch of modern creativity. Whether it’s a cozy bake, a quick weeknight meal, or a twist on a nostalgic favorite, I want every recipe to feel approachable, achievable, and full of heart.
Before launching Forkful Kitchen, I worked in local cafés and test kitchens across New England, where I developed recipes for community cookbooks and food magazines. Those years taught me that food is not just about taste — it’s about the stories, people, and memories behind every meal.
Through Forkful Kitchen, my mission is to help home cooks feel confident and inspired in their own kitchens. Each recipe I share is tested, refined, and written with care, guiding you step by step so you can cook with joy and creativity — just like you’re in the kitchen with a trusted friend.
