About Sharon Gelinas
Hey there! I’m Sharon Gelinas — a food lover, recipe developer, drink enthusiast, and proud mother of two. I’m so glad you’re here. This blog FoodAndDrinks.Info is my little corner of the internet where I share my passion for cooking, the joy of gathering around the table, and the endless adventure that is food🍲 (and drinks🥤).
Cooking has been a lifelong love of mine. From a young age, I found myself drawn to the kitchen, captivated by the way ingredients transform into something magical. Over the years, I’ve explored and experimented with a wide range of culinary styles — from comfort food classics and international dishes to plant-based creations, refreshing drinks, and decadent desserts. Whether it’s a slow-simmered stew on a chilly evening or a bright and zesty cocktail for a summer gathering, I believe every dish has a story, and I’m here to tell it through my blog.
As a mother of two energetic and curious kids, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of meals that are both wholesome and practical — recipes that bring families together but don’t require hours in the kitchen. Through motherhood, I’ve deepened my understanding of what it means to cook with love and intention, and that philosophy is woven into every post I share here.
This blog is more than just a collection of recipes — it’s a place for connection. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just beginning your culinary journey, I want this space to inspire you, support you, and encourage you to explore your own creativity in the kitchen. I share everything from weeknight dinners and make-ahead lunches to festive holiday spreads and cozy weekend breakfasts. You’ll also find drink recipes — from nourishing smoothies and homemade lemonades to elegant mocktails and cocktails — because food and drink are meant to be enjoyed hand-in-hand.
I started this blog not only to document my favorite recipes but to build a community of fellow food lovers. I believe that food brings us together, sparks conversation, and creates lasting memories. My hope is that these recipes become a part of your story too — that you’ll pass them down, share them with friends, and make them your own.
When I’m not in the kitchen or behind the camera, you’ll find me spending time with my family, hunting for local ingredients at the farmer’s market, and scribbling down new ideas for dishes I can’t wait to try. Food is a constant source of inspiration in my life, and I’m thrilled to be able to share that inspiration with you.
Thank you for being here. I invite you to explore, experiment, and most importantly, enjoy. Let’s cook, create, and celebrate food together!
With warmth,
Sharon Gelinas
My Journey
My journey into the world of smoking and barbecue began as a personal passion that quickly evolved into a lifelong adventure. Over the years, I’ve experimented with countless recipes, learned from expert pitmasters, and immersed myself in the art of creating perfect smoked dishes. Every experience, every flavor, and every technique has contributed to a deeper understanding of this culinary craft. I continue to explore and share new ideas, always striving to inspire both seasoned pitmasters and newcomers alike.
