🗳️ Welcome to Cook by Vote

Hey there! I’m Gia Valyn — recipe creator, flavor adventurer, and the face behind Cook by Vote. This is where your cravings take the lead, and the kitchen becomes a place for community-powered cooking.

🍴What Makes Us Different

At Cook by Vote, the recipes you see aren’t just selected by me — they’re chosen by YOU. Here’s what we stand for:

• Democratic Dining — We post recipe polls, and you vote on what comes next. Your kitchen, your voice.

• Creative & Current — Trendy twists on comfort food classics, based on what YOU want to make.

• For All Skill Levels — From beginner meals to weekend showstoppers, every recipe is tested, tasted, and totally doable.

Whether it’s Taco Tuesday or a decadent weekend bake, every dish here has been handpicked by our amazing community.

💡 The Vision Behind Cook by Vote

I started Cook by Vote with a simple idea: what if cooking could be more collaborative and fun? I’ve always loved experimenting in the kitchen, but I wanted to bring others into the process.

So instead of guessing what recipes people wanted, I asked.

What began as a few recipe polls among friends quickly evolved into a vibrant community where everyone has a seat at the table — and a say in what’s being served.

🎯 Our Mission

My goal is to turn home cooking into something interactive, joyful, and a little unexpected. At Cook by Vote, we’re not just making food — we’re creating moments that connect people through flavor and shared choice.

When you cook a dish from here, you’re not just following a recipe — you’re participating in something bigger.
