About me

Hi, I’m Luke

Welcome to Dish Over Dinner — a cozy corner of the internet where recipes spark conversations and meals turn into memories.

I’m just a regular guy who fell in love with food, not through culinary school, but through countless kitchen messes, dinner parties gone sideways, and moments where a perfectly timed dish brought people together. I believe the best meals aren’t just delicious — they tell a story.

My Journey

To be honest, I wasn’t always “the food guy.” In college, I once managed to set toast on fire (true story). But somewhere between that disaster and hosting my first real dinner party, I found something magical in the rhythm of cooking — chopping, simmering, tasting, serving.

Food became more than a necessity — it became a way to slow down, connect, and create space for real conversations. The kitchen became my happy place. And now, I want to share that joy with you.

Whether you’re a total beginner or a confident home cook, this blog is here to help you find your flow, try new things, and most importantly — enjoy the process.
