Hi there, I’m Lorena — the heart behind Cook With Wein — a mama, a self-taught baker and home cook, and above all, a woman of faith who believes God’s love can be shared one plate at a time.
I grew up in the kitchen, wide-eyed and curious, watching my mama and grandma work their magic with simple ingredients and a whole lot of heart. That’s where my love for food took root — not just for cooking, but for the way it brings people together and makes them feel cared for.
Cook With Wein is built on faith, family, and the joy of feeding others with intention. I cook with real ingredients — the kind God gave us — and I believe food should nourish more than just the body. It’s a way to serve, to heal, and to love well.
One verse that guides my heart in the kitchen is Proverbs 31:15:
“She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family…”
To me, that’s a beautiful reminder that even the quiet, everyday moments — like rising early to stir a pot or bake a pie — are sacred when done with love.
I’m no fancy chef — just a woman walking in grace, grateful for the gift of sharing recipes that feel like home and who pours love into everything from pie crust to pot roast, and believes the best recipes come with a story. So come on in, grab a seat at my table, and let’s cook something beautiful — for the body and the soul.
