My name is Stella and I love food, both trying new things and cooking. I have been helping my mother cook for as long as I can remember, teaching me the importance of flavour and eating together as a family. Food for me is a way to nurture relationships and a way to demonstrate hospitality, with guests always being offered something tasty, no matter if they have just come for coffee or for a meal.

 

I am originally from Bulgaria, via England, and my food has evolved with time and experience in the kitchen. I love cooking with spice, including chillies, with Mexican food being a particular favourite. As a result my recipes are often a mix of influences. I often find inspiration for what I cook when visiting restaurants and food markets, so as well as recipes, I will be sharing the places I visit and the food I eat there. I enjoy exploring new places, and especially their history so I will be including a lot of that too.

 

I hope you guys enjoy my website.
