Hi, I’m Louise!
Welcome to my culinary world! I’m a passionate home chef who believes that great food has the power to bring people together, create memories, and turn ordinary moments into something magical.
My love affair with cooking began in my grandmother’s kitchen in Tuscany, where I spent summers learning the art of simple, authentic cooking. She taught me that the best dishes come from the heart, not from complicated techniques or expensive ingredients.
After traveling through Asia and discovering the incredible diversity of flavors and cooking methods, I developed a unique fusion style that blends Mediterranean traditions with Asian influences. The result? Dishes that are both familiar and exciting, comforting yet adventurous.
Here at AllYumPlates, I share recipes that celebrate fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and the joy of cooking for the people you love. Whether you’re a beginner looking to build confidence in the kitchen or an experienced cook seeking inspiration, you’ll find something here to spark your creativity.
My Cooking Philosophy
Fresh & Simple
I believe the best flavors come from high-quality, fresh ingredients prepared with care and simplicity.
Cook with Love
Every dish is an expression of love and care for the people who will enjoy it at your table.
Global Flavors
Food is a universal language that connects cultures and creates understanding across borders.
Mediterranean Classics
From rustic Italian pastas to Greek mezze platters, I love recreating the sun-soaked flavors of the Mediterranean with fresh herbs, quality olive oil, and seasonal vegetables.
Asian-Inspired Fusion
Blending traditional Asian techniques with Western ingredients, I create dishes that are both familiar and exciting, like miso-glazed salmon and Thai-spiced roasted vegetables.
