Welcome to my food blog, I am so happy you are here!

How did I get into food blogging?

In 2016 my husband and I remodeled our kitchen. It’s completely dreamy and everything I’ve ever wanted and it has inspired me to cook all the time. I love to try new things and experiment, I will literally eat anything once (sometime ask me about the time I ate a sardine head…not my finest culinary moment and yes there’s video) so any time an opportunity presents itself to cook, I’m all over it! After a few years of encouragement from friends and family, I launched by blog at the end of 2018.

My other hobby is traveling, I love exploring the world making memories, and meeting new people. One of my very favorite things about traveling are the cooking classes and workshops. I get to learn so much and experiment with new ingredients and try foods I wouldn’t have ever thought to cook with (i.e. cuddle fish – yikes!). So far my international classes consist of Italy (a few times), Spain, Puerto Rico, London, France and Thailand and several around the states. 

I might not be an expert in any one type of food but I certainly have a broad pallet. 😉 I think you will find my recipes are never boring but not complicated either.

Photo’s and Recipes
All photos were taken by me unless otherwise noted. To copy is the finest form of flattery but if you’d like to use a photo, please ask first. 🙂  I follow several chefs and gain inspiration from others, I will always make note of where I found the original recipe and would ask that you do the same. Thanks so much and keep cooking!

Hello, my name is Krista, but my friends call me Tata or Kiki. Welcome to my food blog! I like to cook (and occasionally bake) foods that aren’t complicated but not boring either. I don’t always get it right but I’ll never hide the fails.
