    About

    Welcome! I’m Nicole Smolen, the writer, foodie, and filmmaker behind Storied Kitchen.

    While traveling and studying Cinema and Television Arts, my palette expanded. I craved a deeper understanding of the ingredients that make us. The best nourish our minds, bodies, and hearts. This philosophy inspired the creation of Storied Kitchen, a place for dreamers, doers, and those who take the path less traveled. 

    You’re invited to join the party. There’s plenty of room at our table! Together, we’ll celebrate tall (and small) tales, kitchens, recipes, and every last crumb that makes life worth living.

    I founded this community with a mission: explore the ingredients that made us and share wholesome recipes from the heart.

    Want more Storied Kitchen? Join our community on Substack for an insider look at the inspiration, research, and testing behind our recipes.

    Greetings! I'm Nicole Smolen, the writer, foodie, and filmmaker behind Storied Kitchen. I create wholesome recipes inspired by heartfelt stories. Let's start this culinary adventure in 3...2...1...
