Meet Jessica Harper
Jessica Harper is more than just the creator of Recipes Minute—she’s a storyteller, a mother, and someone who believes that food is not just about ingredients, but about memories, moments, and love. At 42, her life has been shaped by countless meals shared, recipes passed down, and the quiet strength found in the kitchen.
A Childhood of Flavor and Love
Growing up, Jessica wasn’t just taught how to cook—she was taught how food brings people together. Her grandmother’s kitchen, a small but magical space, was where Jessica first fell in love with the art of cooking. It wasn’t the perfectly plated dishes or fancy techniques that captured her heart; it was the way every meal was made with intention, love, and a pinch of magic. As she watched her grandmother craft meals that made people feel at home, Jessica realized that food was more than sustenance—it was a way to show care, to heal, and to create moments of connection.
Finding Healing in Cooking
Life hasn’t always been easy for Jessica. Like many, she’s faced difficult chapters—moments of loss, heartbreak, and uncertainty. But through it all, the kitchen has always been there for her. It was in the quiet hum of chopping vegetables, the soothing rhythm of stirring a pot, that Jessica found peace. Cooking became her therapy, a way to turn pain into something beautiful and nourishing.
From Heartbreak to Recipes Minute
Recipes Minute wasn’t born out of a desire to create a blog—it was born from Jessica’s need to share something that had always helped her through difficult times: food. She wanted to create a space where anyone could come, find joy in cooking, and feel inspired by simple, delicious recipes. Recipes Minute is her gift to you—a place where every recipe is more than just a list of ingredients; it’s a reflection of her heart and the moments that have shaped her journey.
