Welcome! My name is Olya and this website is the internet home of amazing recipes that will make you look like a pro, yet without having to spend too much time in the kitchen!
ABOUT ME
- I am a self-taught cook, food photographer and videographer.
- I started this recipe website in 2016 because I wanted to become a proficient cook and be in control of what I put in my body. I had no cooking experience prior to 2016 and was self taught through the internet and Pinterest. I now cook daily, sometimes several times a day and do it very well. I can probably cook blind folded!
- I also became very well versed in power of good nutrition and proper eating habits during the time of having this website. I’m vey grateful for that. I used to be habitual under-eater.
- I was working full-time during the time when I undertook my cooking endeavor and it was not an easy time for me at all. In 2018 I was able to quit my full-time 9 to 5 office job in order to be able to enjoy life once again:). I’m very glad I made that decision even at that exact point of my life, although at that time I wasn’t sure about that at all.
- These days, I devote myself 100% full-time to this website, photography and recipe videos.
MY SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES
My Facebook account has over 130,000 followers as of 2019, and my Pinterest account has over 73,000.
MY PHILOSOPHY
I love cooking because home cooked food is fresher, better and healthier. When cooking at home, you are in complete control of what enters your body and as a result tend to be more in tune with yourself.
I ALWAYS post recipes with detailed step by step photos and instructions and have plenty of easy main courses as well as quick Instant Pot recipes.

Why cook at home
It seems that nowadays cooking at home is a luxury both in terms of time and effort, and most of us tend to eat what’s convenient at the moment rather than what we should be giving our bodies to keep them healthy and vibrant.
So how to combat this habit of eating the wrong way or feeling too intimidated to cook at home? Start by making home made meals once a week or on weekends and sooner rather than later this will become a delightful adventure. I believe that cooking is for everybody. It might take time but it is a rewarding experience that will soon turn into a captivating pleasure!
My website is about how to make food taste good without spending too much time in the kitchen: simple and tasty! And chances are good that something quick, easy and delicious is cooking in my kitchen right now!
I love cooking and all the perks that come with it: discovering new recipes, perfecting old ones, sharing them with the family and of course eating.
Need more reassurance?
Home cooked food is always more delicious, more nutrient rich and has no unhealthy additives! And you are always in control of what goes into your body in your own kitchen. I just wish I started doing that years ago!
If you think about it, we spend so much time of our lives just searching for what to eat, buying food, cooking and of course eating, we might as well do it right! I hope I can help you with this by providing step by step instructions and visuals with each new recipe.
I hope you enjoy the recipes here and make good use of them in your daily life!
Please stop by often and enjoy!
Olya
