Meet the Author: Pamela Dunlap
I’m Pamela Dunlap, the heart and soul behind Whisk Guide. I’m a registered dietitian and food enthusiast based in beautiful South Carolina. My love for food and nutrition has been a lifelong passion, and I’m thrilled to share my culinary journey with you through this blog.
Growing up in the South, I was surrounded by the rich culinary traditions of my family and community. From a young age, I found myself drawn to the kitchen, fascinated by the way simple ingredients could be transformed into something extraordinary. This fascination grew into a deep love for cooking and eventually led me to pursue a career as a dietitian.
After years of working in the field of nutrition, I realized that my true calling was to combine my professional expertise with my passion for cooking. That’s how Whisk Guide was born. This blog is a reflection of my journey—a place where I can share my favorite recipes, cooking tips, and the joy of creating delicious, wholesome meals.

- Healthy Eating: As a registered dietitian, I’m passionate about promoting a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Many of the recipes on Whisk Guide focus on wholesome ingredients that nourish the body and soul. I believe that healthy eating should be enjoyable, not restrictive, so you’ll find plenty of nutritious yet delicious options.
- Seasonal and Local Ingredients: I’m a firm believer in cooking with what’s fresh and in season. Not only does it make for tastier meals, but it also supports local farmers and reduces our environmental footprint. I love exploring South Carolina’s vibrant food scene and incorporating seasonal produce into my recipes.

Recipe Development Process
Creating recipes is one of the most rewarding aspects of running Whisk Guide. My process starts with inspiration—whether it’s a dish I’ve enjoyed at a local restaurant, a memory from my childhood, or an interesting ingredient I’ve discovered at the farmer’s market. From there, I experiment in the kitchen, testing and tweaking the recipe until it’s just right.
I take pride in ensuring that each recipe is not only delicious but also easy to follow. I test my recipes multiple times to make sure they work in a home kitchen, using ingredients that are readily available. My goal is to provide you with reliable recipes that you can turn to time and time again.

Your feedback helps me improve and tailor the content to better meet your needs. I encourage you to share your own cooking experiences, ask questions, and connect with other readers.
In the future, I hope to expand Whisk Guide’s community through interactive features like cooking challenges, live cooking demonstrations, and more. Together, we can create a space where food lovers can learn, grow, and celebrate the joy of cooking.
