Austin Carter – Founder and Author at Beyond the Bayou
Hi there! I’m Austin Carter, the creator of Beyond the Bayou Blog. For over 10 years, I’ve been passionate about cooking and food photography. I grew up spending time in the kitchen, learning family recipes, and experimenting with new flavors. Cooking became a way for me to connect with others and share joy through food.
I started Beyond the Bayou Blog because I wanted to combine my love for food and photography. This blog is my way of helping others create delicious meals while celebrating the beauty of each dish. It’s also a space to share the recipes I’ve perfected over the years and inspire people to try something new in their kitchens.
As a professional photographer, I make sure every recipe is not just tasty but also looks amazing. From hearty Southern meals to modern dishes, everything I share is simple, flavorful, and easy to follow.
Anne Carter – Author
Hi, I’m Anne Carter, and Austin’s aunt! I’ve been working in a local restaurant for 15 years, where I’ve learned to make delicious meals that people love.
Over the years, I’ve learned how to create dishes that not only taste great but also bring people together. From simple comfort foods to more complex dishes, I’ve worked on it all.
I’ve had the chance to experience many aspects of cooking, from prepping ingredients to managing the kitchen and creating new recipes. I believe in making food with care, using fresh ingredients, and keeping things simple but full of flavor. Food should be something you enjoy making and sharing with others, and that’s the approach I take with every recipe.
When I first heard about Beyond the Bayou Blog, I was honestly surprised! My neighbor had told me about it, and I couldn’t believe Austin was behind it. I had no idea he was doing something like this, and I was excited to see how his passion for food had turned into a blog. It felt like the perfect opportunity to join in and share my love for cooking too. I’ve learned so much over the years, and now I want to inspire you to have fun in the kitchen, just like I do!
Jacob Allen – Author
Hey, I’m Jacob Allen. Austin and I have been friends for years. I’ve loved food since I was a kid, helping my dad out on his food truck. That’s when I figured out cooking is about more than just following recipes. It’s about being creative and putting your heart into it.
I’ve worked in different kitchens over the years, from casual spots to fine dining. Each place taught me something new, and I’ve found my own way of cooking. But what excites me the most is sharing what I’ve learned with you.
When Austin asked me to join his Team, I couldn’t resist. I wanted to be part of something where food isn’t just about making a meal—it’s about sharing experiences and inspiring others to get in the kitchen and cook. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned cook, I’m here to make sure you have fun while creating something delicious.
