Hello ~ welcome to The Orange Bee and Honey Can Cook! I’m Linda, an aficionado of all things food. I am the content creator for The Orange Bee and class instructor for Honey Can Cook.
My passion for being in the kitchen began at an early age. Growing up on the Texas Gulf Coast with the border of Louisiana, I developed a taste for numerous types of foods. Helping my Dad peel shrimp for his award winning gumbo and learning the technique of baking from my Mom as she baked breads, pies, biscuits and mouthwatering desserts sparked my life long love of food.
Writing my blog is a journey I embarked on in 2011. It serves not only as a recipe file but a journal of my travels and life experiences. While living in Texas I taught cooking classes and discovered how much I enjoy helping others build confidence in the kitchen. I am now happy to offer private cooking classes in the comfort of my clients own kitchens. Whether you are a beginner hoping to master the basics, a home cook ready to expand your repertoire, or planning a fun evening with friends, I’ll tailor the experience to your needs and kitchen set-up.
When I’m not wearing an apron you’ll likely find me outdoors birdwatching, taking a walk and soaking in natures beauty. I delight in practicing yoga, enjoy a variety of music, love a well told story and always keep a book within reach. I am an avid traveler who rarely turns down the chance to explore new places, dig into local culture and of course food.
I’m a proud mom of two grown daughters and soon to be a grandma to a baby boy, arriving fall 2025. I also share my home with two fur babies who entertain me daily and bring plenty of joy into my life.
Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to reach out with any questions, comments or recipe requests. I’d love to hear from you.
