Shoes on the Table was created in 2025 by Lauren Shoemaker as a part of a Digital Publishing course at Emerson College. Lauren, a self determined home chef, loves to cook for her friends and family. While cooking has been an interest of Lauren’s for years, she considers herself a serial hobbyist. Currently, her out-of-the-kitchen hobbies include crocheting, running, reading, and playing Stardew Valley. 

From learning to bake with her mom, to making those recipes on her own, and now creating her own recipes, Lauren could be found in the kitchen at any age. On this site, find those new recipe creations as well as blog posts and stories all about cooking and food! Enjoy!
