Hello, I’m Anya Icely

I’m so glad you’re here! I grew up in Hartford and now live in Fort Wayne. My passion is creating beautiful recipes—day in and day out—and I truly love every moment of it. Our family especially enjoys tackling those “impossible” cooking challenges together, turning them into delicious memories.

Here on our site, we celebrate the beauty of cooking with the seasons and living a self-reliant lifestyle. Every recipe is crafted with care by our team, with love in every detail—so you can feel confident, connected, and inspired every time you step into your kitchen.

Anya Icely is the heart and mind behind Savor Saga, a destination for curious home cooks looking to expand their kitchen skills. From preserving seasonal bounty with canning and dehydrating, to crafting flavorful dishes with wild game, fresh seafood, and vibrant plant-based ingredients—Anya brings a world of flavor to your fingertips. Her passion for food is matched by her love of hands-on creativity, infusing each recipe with a touch of DIY spirit to empower you on every culinary adventure.

To Those Who Made This Possible

We are deeply grateful to our family and the many friends who stood by us and helped bring the vision of Savor Saga to life. Your encouragement, support, and belief in this dream have been the heart of our journey. We truly couldn’t have done it without you.
