About Dishaura
I’m Peggy W. Austin, the creator of Dishaura — a recipe website born from a lifetime of hands-on kitchen experience, intergenerational wisdom, and a deep passion for real food made with love.
Who I Am
I’m a Midwestern home cook, recipe developer, and food storyteller with over 15 years of experience crafting dishes that bring people together. Raised in a small town by a mother and grandmother who made magic from scratch, I quickly learned that food is one of the most powerful ways to say “I love you.”
Over time, cooking became more than just a necessity — it became therapy, artistry, and a way to pass down tradition with a modern twist.
Dishaura is more than a recipe blog — it’s a living collection of the meals that have shaped my life, reimagined for today’s kitchens. It’s where busy parents, new cooks, and seasoned foodies come to find:
- Comforting classics with simple, nourishing ingredients
- Modern twists on traditional favorites
- Quick & easy recipes for everyday moments
- Sweet treats for celebrating life’s little joys
Whether you’re making breakfast for your kids, prepping Sunday dinner, or exploring vegetarian comfort food, you’ll find something here to warm your table and your heart.
