About Me

Christina here... teacher and foodie in LA! Welcome to my blog, where I’m thrilled to share my favorite recipes with you. My passion for food goes beyond just eating—it’s about savoring every moment in the kitchen. Growing up in a family that treasures food, I had endless opportunities to experiment. Through plenty of trial and error, I honed my skills into becoming a skilled cook. For me, it’s not just about filling up; it’s about indulging in flavorful, unforgettable dishes.

My mom isn’t the biggest fan of cooking, but when she does, she does it well. She’d much rather leave the kitchen to someone else. On the other hand, my dad loves to cook and has taught me so much over the years. What they say is true, you know?! Practice makes perfect! And if you put your heart into it, you can do whatever you want. Food tastes so much better when you add some love and passion (a little bit of TLC) into it! I find immense joy in preparing food and sharing it with others, and it always feels like a triumph.

Whether at home or while traveling around the world, I’m always on the hunt for new ingredients, creating or learning new recipes, and discovering new and unique kitchen gadgets. I love tasting new dishes from all over the world and learning about their cuisines! When I travel, I’m constantly looking for new inspiration. These are memories that I will always treasure.

Many friends have encouraged me to compile my recipes into a cookbook, but I wanted something more dynamic. So, I created this blog to showcase my delicious creations. I invite you to join me on my culinary journey of traditional and modern takes on international dishes.

What started as a fun project for family and friends in 2012 has grown beyond my wildest dreams, reaching an international audience. I hope my blog inspires you to embrace your love for cooking and try out my easy and tasty recipes. Enjoy the journey!
