Shanika Graham-White

Shanika is a self-taught cook, baker, and recipe developer known for her beautifully staged food photography and videos. She specializes in comfort food with a healthy twist, sharing traditional and dietary-friendly recipes on her blog, Orchids + Sweet Tea. Passionate about making great food accessible, she has partnered with brands like Whole Foods, Vitamix, and So Delicious. Her goal is to inspire others to create delicious meals, no matter what’s in their pantry.

“Honestly, while I don't come from a long line of chefs or restaurant owners, one of the main ways that my family often came together growing up was through food, music, and laughter which inspired me to create a space that both uplifts and feeds those who choose to visit my little space on the web! That’s my WHY! I want people to encounter great joy + nourishment from what I create. Life can be hard + a crazy journey—but I hope to help people learn to embrace, love + eat through it; one plate and recipe at a time!”
