Hello there! We're Sonja & Alex, a couple who loves to cook. Let us be the first to tell you, it wasn't always this way! When we got married, we had no idea how to zest a lemon or mince garlic. But we loved the idea of cooking dinner for friends. Once we started to learn, we fell in love and haven't looked back! 

Along the way, we started the food blog A Couple Cooks to chronicle our journey, with a mission to share delicious recipes and the joy of cooking. Since then, it’s grown into an award-winning website that reaches millions of people each month! We create and photograph these recipes just for you in our cozy kitchen in Indianapolis, Indiana. Here's a peek at what we do:

  • Website: We share fresh new recipes each week on acouplecooks.com — delivered right to your inbox in this email.

  • Instagram: Keep up with us on Instagram with our latest food, videos, and behind-the-scenes shenanigans featuring us and our kiddos, 6 year old Larson and baby Britta. 

  • Cookbook(s): Our first cookbook, Pretty Simple Cooking, showcases 100 tasty vegetarian and plant-based recipes. Exciting news: we’ve got a new one on the way, coming in Fall 2024!

Every Thursday, we'll drop a new email into your inbox with the week’s best recipes.
