Who Am I?

Hi! I'm Jill!

Welcome to YesterKitchen and my cooking show. I have been studying food history for over 30 years. It fascinates me how we can learn history through food. I am now living my dream by sharing all of this knowledge with everyone through my YouTube Channel. Come along on this journey with me as I highlight a dish every week, explore the history behind it and make the original recipe or as close as I can get. I was born in Los Angeles, CA and had the pleasure of growing up in foodie culture. I'm a wife, mom and grandma. My cooking skills are self-taught although I took more cooking classes than I can count. It's my passion, my Zen, my wheelhouse. I am so honored to share it with you! There is a world of food out there and decades of food history to explore. Knowing the story behind a well-known dish involves so much more joy than just eating it. Come explore! EVERY dish has a story! Jill.
