Meet John Barrett: Your Culinary Guide
Hi, I’m John Barrett, the founder of DishFacts. My journey began with a simple belief: great cooking should be accessible to everyone. From mastering basic recipes to crafting creative cocktails, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned along the way.
What started as a love for cooking in my grandmother’s Chicago kitchen has grown into something bigger. Today, DishFacts helps both beginners and experienced cooks bring more flavor to their tables.
