Meet Rebecca Wood The Studio Mama

_______________

My journey has been a flavorful adventure from the heart of Georgia to the vibrant music scene of Nashville. Let me take you on a little ride…

Growing up, I soaked in the wisdom of my Depression-Era grandparents, who taught me the value of fresh, homegrown food. Whether it was the bounty of peaches, the abundance of corn, or the joyous U-pick farm adventures, those early experiences shaped my love for good, wholesome meals prepared with love.

As I began raising my own family in Atlanta, I carried forward these traditions, diving into the world of baking with a gifted sourdough starter and tweaking my grandmothers' recipes to incorporate healthier, high-quality ingredients. Friends quickly became fans, and Hearts in the Mix emerged. Before I knew it, I found myself in a commercial kitchen space, sharing a spot with my CSA farmer.

The next chapter unfolded in Nashville when I landed a job at Zac Brown's recording studio, Southern Ground Nashville. Little did I know that this would lead to a culinary adventure, earning me the endearing moniker "Studio Mama." For nearly eight years, I meticulously documented the culinary preferences of artists and musicians, crafting homestyle meals that became a hallmark of the studio.

Beyond the studio, my life has been a tapestry of creative endeavors. From my early years as a dancer to organizing community playtime, and even carving linoleum blocks for handprinting, I've always sought to channel my creative energy into various forms. And my heart has always been mixed into everything I do.

From spices I created to the cookbook I wrote, the Hearts in the Mix online store allows me the platform to showcase my creations and make them available to share with my community. 

Join me on this delicious and creative ride!

Leave me a message. I'd love to hear from you.
