About Me

Hi there, and welcome to Recipes by Maya.
I’m Maya — the voice, cook, and creative heart behind this little corner of the internet.

My love for cooking didn’t start in a fancy kitchen or culinary school. It began at home, surrounded by the smells of simmering sauces, freshly baked bread, and the gentle hum of conversation around the table. For me, food has always been more than a meal — it’s a moment, a memory, a connection.

Growing up, my happiest days were spent watching the women in my family work magic with simple ingredients. They taught me that the best dishes come from the heart, not the fanciest tools or rarest spices. That’s the spirit I carry with me every time I step into my kitchen.

Recipes by Maya is my way of sharing that joy with you. Whether you’re looking for comfort food, something fun for the kids, or a recipe to impress guests, you’ll find it here — all with a personal touch and practical, everyday ingredients.

Every recipe I post is one I’ve tried, tested, and genuinely loved. I believe that home cooking should be approachable, nourishing, and most of all, enjoyable.

When I’m not mixing something up in the kitchen, I’m probably planning my next meal, jotting ideas in a notebook, or replying to your lovely emails.

Thank you for being here. I hope my recipes bring a bit of warmth, inspiration, and flavor to your home.
Let’s cook, create, and make memories together.

Warmly,
Maya
