Because sometimes the
“leftovers”
are the real main event.
Hi, I’m Jordan — the Alchemist of Appetite.
I make too much food — like, dangerously good cake pops, pies, focaccia bread, and full-blown dinners that are “technically” just for my wife and me…
But let’s be honest: they often find their way out of our house.
Instead of limiting the delicious chaos to our kitchen (or Liz’s coworkers via glassware diplomacy), I’m opening the door to custom requests.
You want browned butter cinnamon rolls for someone's birthday breakfast?
Fudgy brownies that momentarily dissolve the stress of being a human (no therapy copay required:)?
Or maybe a pot of soul-healing chicken kale tortellini soup — with a side of that fresh focaccia?
Yeah. I could do that.
1. You've got a craving. Or a dessert emergency. Or both. That's where it starts.
2. You fill out the form and tell me what's drool-looping in your brain. Be specific. Be dramatic. Be hungry.
3. I'll check this week's menu and see if I can work your idea into the chaos. It's all based on vibes, schedule, and fridge space.
4. Just know: your submission is more like entering the flavor lottery. I'm a full-time grad student juggling oven timers and research deadlines. So while your craving might be fulfilled... it also might not.
No Pressure. No Promises. Just Possibility.
FAQs
(Frequently Asked Quiches... just kidding)
Can I place an order?
Sort of. You can submit a request — but this isn’t a bakery. I cook and bake in my free time, and if your idea fits into the weekly kitchen chaos, I just might make it.
Do you charge for your food?
Nope! This is just something I do for fun (and flavor). That said, people sometimes send me gifts or ingredient restocks — never expected, always appreciated.
What kinds of things do you make?
Cookies, brownies, pies, and full-on meals. Some of them even get names like “That Banana Thing That Made Michelle Cry.” I make what sounds fun and what I have time for.
Can I request something for a birthday or office treat?
Yes — submit it through the form! If it works with the weekly menu, I’ll let you know. Keep in mind: not everything makes the cut, especially if my schedule’s tight.
Do you deliver?
If you're nearby and it works out — maybe! But generally, this is more like “surprise pickups from Jordan’s kitchen” than DoorDash.
Is this legal?
Yup — because I’m not selling anything. All food is made and shared from a home kitchen under California’s cottage food guidelines for personal use and gifting. This is food for fun, not for profit.
All food shared through Leftovers by Jordan is made in a private home kitchen, not licensed or inspected for commercial sale. This is a personal, passion-powered project — not a business. Submitting a request does not guarantee a delivery of deliciousness. Think of it like entering a flavor lottery: your craving might be chosen… or it might get lost in a cloud of butter and grad school deadlines. I do this for fun, for flavor, and for the joy of feeding people when the timing (and fridge space) allows. Allergy info can be requested, but please note that my kitchen contains common allergens like dairy, gluten, and nuts.
