David, the man behind The Cookin’ Cannon is a lot of things - Husband - father - son - brother - friend – veteran – world traveler – and lover of all things food. David is a self-proclaimed “culinary hobbyist.” He has no formal or professional training in the culinary arts. All of his “skill” is either self-taught or knowledge passed down through family, friends, and his travels that have cultivated this passion.

The Cookin’ Cannon itself isn’t just David; it’s learning to make fried cornbread with his Granny, growing up gaining his love of food from his Grandpa Bob, or taking recipes taught to him by numerous loved ones as a child and making them his own.

It’s Friday night steak night with his wife; experimenting along the way to make it perfect for her taste. Bringing family fresh baked bread. Trying something new and sharing it with friends.

Now, hopefully, it’s something just a little bit more. What this platform will turn into? Only time will tell! On this site are just a few of The Cookin’ Cannon’s heart-lead creations to share with friends, get feedback, create and gather inspiration for future friends & family shared dishes. 

The Cookin’ Cannon isn’t so much a person, it’s the heart of many brought together and inspired one person. The only thing he loves more than cooking delicious food, is sharing it with family and friends.
