Growing up, I actually hated cooking. I can’t pinpoint the exact moment when my interest in trying out recipes sparked, but I owe a lot of it to my mom. She taught Food and Nutrition to High School students and loved experimenting in the kitchen. Somewhere along the way, I discovered that I enjoyed trying out different dishes, and that’s where my food adventure began.

Even though I initially disliked cooking, I learned how to cook early on, before I was 10 years old. When I came home from university, I’d experiment with recipes I saw friends making at school, and they were always a hit. Once I had my own apartment and kitchen, I started bringing my culinary ideas to life. My kitchen became a playground for my creativity, where I could mix, match, and make dishes to my heart’s content.

What’s fascinating about my kitchen escapades is that even when I thought I’d made an average meal, people would rave about it and shower me with compliments. Don’t get me wrong—cooking can be exhausting. But there’s a special kind of joy I feel when trying out or creating new recipes and sharing them with others.

The idea of starting a blog or getting on social media had been floating around for years. After one particularly delicious meal in 2020, my cousin urged me to share my culinary skills with the world. Every New Year, I’d resolve to start a food blog, only to disappoint myself and my cousin by postponing it. I almost pushed this project to 2025, but I decided to bet on myself. And look who has a blog now—me!

I can’t entirely blame myself for the delay. With a demanding job that barely left me any free time, how was I supposed to squeeze in a cooking blog? Thankfully, in May 2024, Irresistiblyummy was born.
