My story !

Hi everyone! My name is Ava Taylor, and I’m currently based in Swampscott, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston. I’m a college senior, and if you asked my roommates, they’d probably tell you I’m always in the kitchen cooking or creating something new.

Growing up in a coastal town has shaped so much of my lifestyle, especially the way I cook. I’m drawn to simple, fresh, feel-good meals, which is what inspired the name Coastal Kitchen, a reflection of both where I’m from and the kind of recipes I love to make.

My passion for wellness and cooking started a little over two years ago, and I’ve loved every part of it. As someone who eats gluten-free, I focus on creating recipes that feel good, taste amazing, and are easy to fit into a busy lifestyle.

What started as a personal interest has grown into a space where I can share simple, nourishing meals that are approachable, flavorful, and realistic for everyday life.
