Welcome to AvaDish.com! I’m Ava McKenney, the founder and creative spirit behind this culinary corner of the internet. My love for cooking blossomed during my childhood in Charleston, South Carolina, where the kitchen was the heart of our home. Whether it was helping my grandmother roll out biscuit dough or watching my parents recreate recipes clipped from magazines, food was always a way to bring us together.
My Culinary Journey
Growing up in the South, I was surrounded by the vibrant flavors and comforting dishes of Southern cuisine. Sunday dinners with my family were the highlight of each week—a time to connect, laugh, and savor the magic of good food. It was in those moments that I realized how food can tell a story, evoke memories, and create connections.
In my early 20s, I started experimenting more in the kitchen, blending family recipes with new flavors I discovered through travel and conversations with fellow food lovers. Cooking became my creative outlet and my way of sharing love with others.
The Birth of AvaDish.com
By 2023, friends and family kept asking for my recipes, and I wanted a way to organize and share them. That’s how AvaDish.com was born—a small blog where I could document my favorite meals, cooking tips, and the stories behind the dishes. What started as a personal project quickly grew into something much more, as food enthusiasts from all over joined the journey.
