"When I arrive to see Corre Larkin - the popular home-cook content creator known to legion of followers as Coco - she's putting the finishing touches on a croque monsieur, which she's turning into a madame with a flawlessly fried egg. "In a perfect world, this would be gruyere," she explained into the camera, "but it's an imperfect world so I'm using a really good cheddar." She says that her approach to cooking is to "use what you have.""
"Her videos are shot in her own home in Newport Beach, using her own phone and dishware (stunning pieces she has found over the years, be it from a vintage London shop or an estate sale a few blocks away) and are often created on the fly based on what her family wants to eat for dinner. It's an unrehearsed yet seemingly effortless style that makes both Larkin and her recipes feel accessible and attainable."
Corre Larkin creates spontaneous, relatable home-cooked recipes filmed in her Newport Beach kitchen using her phone and personal dishware. She improvises based on family preferences and emphasizes using available ingredients, often substituting cheddar for gruyere when needed. Larkin's style blends vintage-found aesthetics with unrehearsed, accessible presentations that make recipes feel attainable. Raised in Orange County, she played volleyball at Brown University and spent a decade in London, where she learned seasonal cooking from classic television cooks. Larkin previously worked in recruitment and manufacturing bulletproof glass, a career lacking creative outlets. By 2018 she felt a need for creativity that led her toward food content.
