Hey, I’m Oksana!
Hello and welcome! Glad you are here. My name is Oksana and I’m the self-designated chef of my house. I am a self-thought cook and photographer in training. Most of the photos you will find on this blog were taken by me.
I am completely new to blogging and started this site in 2021. After the pandemic of 2020, I found myself out of work and have been struggling with that idea. Because of that, I found myself cooking more and really loving it.
With cooking, the days didn’t quite feel like Groundhog Day, it become more manageable. Cooking has become a form of escape from the daily realities. For me, being the kitchen is definitely a form of self-expression with no rules or limitations.
My usual cooking style is simple and easy. I like to cook, but I also like to eat and spend time with my family. However, sometimes I like to indulge my more creative side and spend longer times in the kitchen.
Cooking should be fun and enjoyable. I find a lot of inspiration from cooking shows, my own life experience, family recipes and cookbooks. One of my favorite things to do is go to a bookstore and spend hours in the cookbook section looking over recipes.
With this, my hope is that as you scroll through the recipes, you will find inspiration to try something new. The possibilities are endless.
