Well, hello there! Thank you for taking a look. I hope you stay awhile and revisit often. I’m Yvette, and the recipes you will find here are easy to follow from my home and world travels all with pics included. They are prepared with whole food, seasonal ingredients that nourish your body and will make your culinary experience smooth. Most are very easy and quick while some are nurtured with longer preparation time for a Sunday or holiday event.

A little bit about me: I was born and raised in the beautiful city of Karlovy Vary, Czechoslovakia where I learned to cook from my grandmother Anna, my mom Gabriella and my uncle Otto, a renowned chef. I remember helping in the kitchen, standing on a chair, adding ingredients to food, mixing and stirring and watching in aww as I helped prepare delicious meals. My passion for cooking always stayed true to my heart. Preparing and sharing food is an extension of love for the people we care about.
