Meet Allison Hartley: The Sweet Savory Girl Behind the Apron
Hi there, sweet friend! I’m Allison Hartley, the hands, heart, and whisk behind Sweet Savory Girl — and I’m so glad you’re here.
Growing up, my happiest memories were made in the kitchen — flour dust on my cheeks, warm cookies cooling on the counter, and the chatter of family and friends gathered around. I’ve always believed that the best food doesn’t just taste delicious — it creates moments to remember.
After years of dreaming, testing recipes, and sharing my creations with the people I love most, I finally turned my passion into a business. And that’s how Sweet Savory Girl was born — a place where I get to share my love of handcrafted treats, both sweet and savory, with all of you.
Why Sweet and Savory?
Some days you need a rich, fudgy brownie that melts in your mouth. Other days you crave a flaky, buttery pastry with a hint of herbs and cheese. Why choose just one when life is better with both?
My goal is to bring you comforting, indulgent bites that surprise you — whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself because you deserve it.
A Few Things About Me
I have a BS in Business from Mt. St. Mary’s College & an Associates Degree in Professional Baking & Pastry from Baltimore International College
I have had the opportunity to live in many cities across this great country; NYC, Baltimore, Charlotte, San Francisco and today I call Houston home. I’ve immersed myself deep into these local food scenes which has added depth and breadth to my personal culinary growth. Seasonal diversity coupled with geographic nuances has greatly influenced my approach to creating recipes.
I test every recipe endlessly until it’s just right — my family are my forever taste-testers!
I love supporting local markets and farmers whenever I can — you’ll taste that extra love in every bite.
When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll find me planning my next flavor combination (or sneaking spoonfuls of my homemade caramel sauce) or perhaps on a baseball field with my son’s!
What’s Next?
At Sweet Savory Girl, you’ll always find something fresh, seasonal, and made with care. You can shop my treats right here — whether you’re craving a box of cookies for yourself, a gift for someone you love, or a party platter that wows your guests.
