Hey! I'm Paula. I make recipes and videos for deliciously non-fussy dinners (and sometimes breakfast, lunch, dessert, and snacks!) I love combining basic pantry staples with whatever else is in the fridge to create simple and satisfying food that doesn't break the bank. I'm not a vegetarian but I love veggies, beans, and tofu, so veg-heads and meat eaters should all find something they like here!
Kitchen Journal
This is where I post cooking tips, best practices, fun dinner ideas, helpful ingredient swaps, and lessons I’ve picked up along the way. Recipes take a back seat here!
Learning to cook can be overwhelming. And even experienced cooks do things ‘the hard way’ sometimes. After years of cooking in professional kitchens, tiny cafés, camps, (and even a sailboat), I like to think I’ve learned some really good tricks and lessons and I’m excited to share them with you.
If you’re new to cooking, or you’d like to learn how to become a more efficient and confident cook, this is the place to be! You’ll be whipping up delicious dinners in no time.
If you have any specific cooking questions or conundrums, send me an email and I’ll do my best to help! It’ll also help me to decide what topics I need to cover in future articles. Happy reading, and happy dinner making!
