Teri Turner is basically my Julia Child.

I know, thats a bold statement, but minus the whole bringing French cuisine to America thing, they have a lot in common. Theyre both quirky in the most endearing way. They both have an encyclopedic knowledge of cooking techniques. And they both turn everyday whole-food ingredients into flavorful masterpieces with humor, grace, and approachability.

The difference is, Teri has Instagram, and watching her prep, cook, and style is as magical as her famous elixirs. Her no-nonsense style transfixes meI get the sense that she runs her kitchen with military precision, but her warmth, grace, and authenticity makes me feel capable and inspired. I want her to come to my house not to cook
