About Scarlet Mae Johnson
Welcome to Scarlet Recipes! I’m Scarlet Mae Johnson, the creative mind and passionate cook behind this culinary corner of the internet. Based in the vibrant city of Denver, Colorado, I’ve been sharing my love for food and healthy living with a growing community of food enthusiasts since 2012.
My Journey
My journey into the world of food began at a young age, inspired by my grandmother’s delicious home-cooked meals. This early passion led me to pursue a formal education in the culinary arts. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Culinary Arts from Johnson & Wales University in 2007, and later, I earned a Master of Science in Nutrition from the University of Colorado in 2010.
Philosophy
I believe that cooking is not just about creating meals; it’s about bringing people together and making memories. My cooking philosophy revolves around creating dishes that are both delicious and nutritious. I love to experiment with new ingredients and flavors, putting a creative twist on classic recipes while ensuring they are wholesome and nourishing.
