About

---

Restored & Rooted is a celebration of home, nourishment, family traditions, and the beauty of beginning again. Created by Brandi Traut in Franklin, Indiana, it grew from a season of restoring both a 1915 Craftsman home and a life reshaped by unexpected change. Through simple, nourishing recipes, thoughtful home restoration, and honest storytelling, Restored & Rooted is about creating a life that feels meaningful, gathered, and deeply rooted. Its first cookbook brings together beloved family recipes, healthier everyday favorites, and the stories and traditions that make a house feel like home.
