My Cooking Journey
I started my cooking journey with my mom’s recipes. She’s an incredible cook and my inspiration. These days I’m deep into cookbooks (it’s becoming an obsession!) and exploring cuisines from all over the world. I follow recipes with curiosity, experiment bit by bit, and push myself to understand just enough to start creating my own flavors or variations. Come along and let’s go on this journey together. I don’t like to appear in pictures so there are really not a lot of pictures of me cooking. This one was taken a couple of years ago making milanesas (a Uruguayan staple) at my in-laws. Say hi to Nala, lurking for food in the background!
My cooking journey: From self-taught to passionate home chef
I’m a self-taught cook who started experimenting in the kitchen with no formal training, just a love for great food and a desire to share simple, tasty recipes that anyone can make at home. Mela-Made is all about making cooking fun, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of your skill level or experience. I believe every meal (no matter how basic and rushed or complex and planned) should be a chance to create delicious memories.
