Sharing Alaska One Recipe at a Time

About Me

Hi, I’m Maya Wilson. I founded Alaska from Scratch in 2011 from my remote kitchen on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. Since then, it’s grown into a brand that reaches millions of readers each year. I’m the author of The Alaska from Scratch Cookbook (2018, Rodale/Penguin Random House) and have been featured in the New York Times and Bon Appetit. I also co-authored 40 Years of Fish with Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. I’ve been an executive chef, corporate chef, food columnist, food photographer and stylist, recipe developer, and a judge for the James Beard Awards.

Here you will find seasonal, homemade recipes inspired by the places and people I love most. Pull up a seat at the table. I’m glad you’re here.
