Backstory

Growing up in Texas, my culinary journey started humbly—think meatloaf, red beans and rice, Spam burgers, and the occasional bologna sandwich. My options were limited, fast, cheap, or homemade and... also cheap. Gourmet? Not even close. I didn’t learn what an heirloom tomato was until I hit the half-century mark—and don't get me started on the great Paella grocery run disaster of 2021.
 

Add a dash of neurodivergence and a heaping spoonful of foodie friends into the mix, and here we are—on a mission to transform the way we think about dining at home. Forking Alchemy is a playful and educational space designed for curious cooks and adventurous eaters of all ages and Forking-A is the home dining app that allows for competitive fun and digital games for all. Whether you're a seasoned home chef or can barely boil water, you’ll find a place here to explore new ingredients, experiment with plating, and expand your palate beyond your wildest dreams (or fears).
 

If you're ready to embrace the weird, the wonderful, and the delicious, we are ready to make it fun, engaging, and maybe a little chaotic. Grab a fork, get creative, and let’s dig in and share the failures and successes on this journey.
