Hi!

My name is Ariana. I’m a mom, wife, and passionate cook currently living in the south of France. I have a special love affair with food – from picking and smelling it, to planning, preparing, sharing and eating it. This passion was fueled by my international background as well as my extensive travels and time live abroad, where I discovered a world of tastes and textures. Through my experience both as a working mother who always wanted to make homecooked meals for her family and as a person who loves to entertain, I’ve acquired a lot of culinary techniques and efficient tricks in the kitchen. 

Initially, this website was a blog where I simply shared recipes and articles but over time, people approached me, wanting to know more about how to cook certain ingredients, how to plan meals so that they can be varied, delicious as well as healthy. That’s when I launched my YouTube channel and began coaching clients through my different recipes. My style? International, tasty, healthy, seasonal and not fussy. Flavorful cooking made simple is what I do because I think anyone can – and should – know how to create delicious meals without having to be a chef. 

Today, I continue to share my recipes here, but also write e-books, create meal plans, and give private and group live virtual cooking classes with people all over the world. The kitchen is my playground and my mission is to make it yours too.

If you’ve got questions, requests, or suggestions, please do give me a shout: I’m always happy to hear from readers.

Sending you all lots of good vibes,

Ariana xxxx
