🥄 About Dinner Ideas Collective

A Taste of Home, Made Simple

I’m Sam Valme, founder of Dinner Ideas Collective and author of Dinner Ideas for the Haitian Cook. I grew up in a home where food was more than just a meal it was language, memory, and connection. My parents brought the spirit of Haiti into our kitchen through the smell of epis on the stove and the rhythm of Sunday cooking.

Years later, I started sharing recipes online as a way to honor that tradition and I quickly realized just how many people were looking for the same thing: a way to reconnect with the flavors they grew up with, even if life got busy.
