Hi I’m Chloe, welcome to my kitchen!
From Engineering to Cooking: My Journey from Student Kitchen to Food Blog
It all started when I was a student, living alone for the first time. With a tiny kitchen, a handful of ingredients, and no real clue what I was doing, I began cooking out of necessity, but quickly, it turned into something more. I discovered how comforting it felt to create something from scratch, and how even the simplest meal could lift my mood after a long day.
Fast forward a few years: I became an engineer, building systems and solving problems by day, but still spending every spare moment in the kitchen. Cooking was my passion, my escape, and the place where I truly felt at home.
Eventually, I realized I didn’t want to keep that joy to myself. So I took a leap, at 34 I left my job and decided to follow my heart. That’s how this blog was born: from a love of food, a desire to share it, and a belief that anyone can cook with a bit of guidance and inspiration.
Cook with confidence
Every recipe on this blog has been tested (and retested!) in my own kitchen, with real ingredients, real messes, and real-life time constraints. I don’t just cook for the camera, I cook to feed, to comfort, and to share. As an engineer-turned-foodie, I bring precision to every dish, but always with a dash of heart. I only share recipes that I truly love and that I know work. If it’s on the blog, it’s because I’ve made it, tasted it, and said, “Yep! this one’s a keeper.”
Here, you’ll find easy, delicious recipes made for real life, whether you’re cooking solo, feeding your family, or just looking for something comforting and homemade.
Welcome to my kitchen. I’m so happy you’re here.
