ABOUT RECIPE RIOT
Who Owns the Site?
Hello, I’m Tena Edwards, the owner/operator/editor of Recipe Riot. I have been an avid recipe collector and cook for about 25 years now. In fact, my mom still has some handwritten recipe cards I carefully copied out when I was about 7 or 8 years old. You might say that cooking is in my blood. According to family legend, my great-grandmother (whom I was named after) was a fabulous cook, and was in fact, so well known in her small northwestern Missouri farming community that her father had no problem getting help with the harvest as the laborers knew she would be cooking for them! Her daughter (my grandmother) learned how to make those wonderful dishes from her mother, and continues to make mouthwatering family meals to this day.
As an adult, I’ve continued to push past the boundaries of those first cooking lessons. I’ve explored new cuisines and sought out new culinary experiences, particularly related to American regional foods, and international regional cuisines. I have to admit that being able to watch the Food Network was one of the primary reasons I got a satellite dish! As a professional librarian (day job), I put the research skills I use on a daily basis to good use when it comes to hunting down new recipes. You will find the results of these forays in the recipes on this site. Eventually, after collecting thousands of recipes and getting them in electronic format, it occurred to me to do something with them. Recipe Riot is the result of that little thought that wouldn't go away.
