About me

Welcome to my kitchen, where passion meets flavor.

I am Sarah, the founder and heart of this culinary blog. My passion for cooking began at the age of 12, in a family where the kitchen was the heart of the home. This passion led me to pursue formal training in culinary arts in Europe, where I honed my techniques and discovered the magic of fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Settling in New York expanded my culinary horizons, exposing me to an endless diversity of gastronomy. From bustling farmers’ markets to hidden ethnic culinary gems, I found endless inspiration to blend my Western heritage with global influences.

My Culinary Philosophy

I believe in creating recipes that are:

  • Simple yet elegant: Transforming humble ingredients into extraordinary dishes.
  • Globally inspired: Combining classic European techniques with the vibrant flavors of New York’s multicultural scene.
  • Accessible to all: Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook, my recipes are designed to inspire confidence and creativity.

For me, cooking is not just about food; it’s a way to tell stories, create connections, and celebrate life. I want my readers to feel the same excitement and love that I pour into every dish.

The Inspiring Story

One day, as a child, I witnessed a scene that profoundly impacted my culinary journey. My grandmother, the pillar of our family, was in the kitchen with my aunt. On the table, a large basket of freshly harvested garlic awaited transformation. With patience and love, my grandmother showed my aunt how to peel each clove, lightly blanch them to soften their flavor, then immerse them in olive oil infused with aromatic herbs.

My aunt, attentive, asked the reason for this preparation. My grandmother replied with a smile:

— “Preserving garlic this way maintains its flavor and health benefits. It’s a culinary treasure our family has passed down for generations.”

This moment of transmission, where knowledge and family traditions were shared, deeply touched me. I understood that cooking is more than just meal preparation; it’s a heritage, a connection between generations, and an expression of love. This experience was the catalyst for my passion for cooking and inspired me to share these culinary treasures with the world.

My Favorite Dishes to Cook

Among my favorite recipes is saffron and preserved lemon risotto—a perfect balance between comfort and sophistication. My kitchen is always buzzing with creative energy, from hearty soups to modern twists on traditional pastries.

Lessons from My Journey

Cooking hasn’t always been a smooth path. I’ve faced challenges and turned failed experiences into opportunities for learning and innovation. My advice? Start simple, enjoy the process, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes—they’re often the stepping stones to delicious discoveries.
