Hi, I’m Jae, recipe developer, food photographer, and the creator of Organically Jae, where I share Southern-inspired recipes made from scratch with organic ingredients and a deep appreciation for Black culinary heritage.
I was born in northeast Louisiana, deep in the country, where food, faith, and family shaped everything I am. Later, I moved to South Louisiana after getting married, and that’s where my love for cooking and storytelling deepened.
FROM MY LOUISIANA
KITCHEN TO YOURS
Food has always been my love language — the way I care for others, connect with family, and preserve and celebrate the rich traditions of Southern cooking and the Black culinary heritage that has shaped so much of American food.
When my husband and children began facing health challenges and food sensitivities, our family made the decision to live a more intentional, health-conscious lifestyle. That’s when I began researching ingredients, nutrition, and how food affects the body.
Today, I cook with a focus on wholesome, more natural ingredients while still honoring the Southern recipes I grew up with. I believe you don’t have to lose tradition to eat better — you can adapt it and still keep its heart.
My Recipe Promise
Every recipe on Organically Jae is developed, cooked, tested, and photographed in my own kitchen before it is published.
I focus on approachable recipes made with simple ingredients, clear instructions, and practical tips so home cooks can recreate them with confidence.
Whether I’m perfecting a Southern pound cake, testing a family dinner, or creating a fresh seasonal salad, I often make each recipe multiple times before sharing it. My goal is to create recipes that are dependable, flavorful, and worthy of becoming family favorites.
