Meet the person behind
every cookbook.

Sherri is the founder and Chief Cookbook Builder of TummyHug Kitchen — and she is, in the best possible way, two people at once: a seasoned technology professional with more than 30 years of experience leading complex IT consulting projects in public safety, health and welfare — and a lifelong passionate cook who has never met a pantry she couldn't turn into a dinner party.

She has spent her career building solutions for the people and situations that matter most. TummyHug Kitchen is that same work, applied to something more personal: the handwritten recipe cards yellowing in a shoebox, the dish only Grandma knew how to make, the story behind a family's most requested dessert that nobody ever thought to write down.

TummyHug Kitchen grew from a promise Sherri made to two beloved family matriarchs — her mother Phyllis and mother-in-law Mama Grace — to preserve the family's recipes and the stories behind them. When both Mamas passed before that promise could be kept, the urgency deepened. A candid conversation with Auntie Brenda — who said plainly, "You better get on it. Family recipes like those will get lost" — turned intention into action. Auntie Brenda passed shortly after. Her words became the mission.

When Sherri discovered AI technology capable of reading even faded handwritten recipe cards, her 30 years of problem-solving experience and her lifetime of loving food converged into something she had been building toward all along. TummyHug Kitchen is that convergence — professional precision in service of the most human thing there is.

She will also make you laugh. Sherri believes there is real healing in laughter — and that the best kitchens, like the best teams, run on it.

"Auntie Brenda looked me in the eye and said: You better get on it. Family recipes like those will get lost."
