About Dora Ortiz

Dora Ortiz, founder of Cook Storms

Founder & recipe developer

Hi, I'm Dora! I started Cook Storms to share the cozy, no-fuss dinners I cook for the people I love: creamy pastas, cheesy casseroles and chicken dishes that come together on a busy weeknight.

Why Cook Storms?

Weeknights get busy, and dinner shouldn't feel like another job. Cook Storms is where I share the recipes I come back to again and again: creamy one-pot pastas, cheesy casseroles that feed a crowd, juicy chicken dinners and lighter meals full of vegetables. Every recipe uses simple ingredients you can find at any grocery store.

What you'll find here

  • Clear, step-by-step instructions with times, temperatures and doneness cues.
  • Everyday ingredients, with easy swaps when you're missing something.
  • Make-ahead and storage tips so leftovers taste great too.

Let's cook together
