About

Who Am I?

I would like to take a few moments to introduce myself to my readers just because some of you might be interested to know who is behind this blog. I often find myself checking out who is the writer behind a book, the designer behind a fashion style, the architect behind an amazing architectural building, bridge or tower, the painter behind a unique work or the parents who raised a well behaved and polite kid. As more I know about the person, the better I can relate to him/her and I can understand more the reason behind the work.

My name is Piri D. and I’m in my mid thirties, happily married and mother of three handsome, full of energy, never stopping boys. I was born in Europe in a Hungarian speaking family. My mom thought me in my early years about cooking, as in our tradition the cooking is a woman’s choir. I remember the first times being in the kitchen and listening to my mom’s instructions what to do and how to do it. I wanted to do everything different. Since grade 9, I remember going home from school and cooking before my mom would arrive home from work. I loved to cook on my own, just because I had the chance to try new things. (Sometimes if the food didn’t work out perfectly I would just throw it in the garbage or down in the toilet.)

Over the years we left Europe and settled in Canada. For me cooking is a part of entertaining those whom I love. I love to have company and I loved to cook them. I never really thought that I am good at cooking. It was just the “thing” I always did since I can remember, but I could tell over the years that my cooking was welcomed and appreciated not just by my family members, but rather from our guest too.

Why this Food Blog?

Bloging wasn’t something I was interested for a long time. I liked to read blogs, being far away from my family, some of my friends and relatives wrote their blogs and I loved to read them as a way to keep in touch, see kids grow and being more involved in their lives.

But over the years, over and over I had to write down my recipes to my friends because they were asking for it so I decided to have a food blog where I will share my recipes which came from a various source like: cookbooks, my parents, grandparents, other family or friends, my own creations and experiments. If I prepared the recipe from a cookbook I will most certainly recommend the book it came from or if it’s an online source then I link to the online source.

What’s behind the name?

I have three boys as I mentioned. Every day when they come home from school the first question is: MoM What Did U Make? They're always hungry (especially my teenager) and when they walk in the house they try to find out what did I made by the flavour and aroma of the food.

This is a whole new step for me, but I would like to share my passion and love for cooking. This will be a great way to let those interested in trying new recipes to just experience with my recipes too.


Other Interest

Besides my passion for Food and Cooking I am learning more about health and wellness. Exercise becomes more and more important in my daily life.

When I work - I work as a Social Media Marketing and Search Engine Optimization Expert. My primary goal is to help enterpreneurs and executives take their business to the next level through strategic implementation of Online Marketing. It is crucial for every business to have top-notch presence online and I LOVE being a part of a company's success.

I love photography, I always loved since I had my first son. In our family I’m the one running around with my camera in my neck. I’m rarely in any pictures, but love to capture shots that speak a thousand words, that makes one feel as if they were a part of the scene and experience the photo with their senses. I am still learning on this field, but is something I love to do.

Decoration is another part of my life. I love to walk in a room and see what could be. In my mind I always create something. Reorganizing a room, a family’s financial future or mixing different ingredients to experiment a new recipe for me it’s the same.

Last but not least God is a big part of my life. He made me the person who I am and every time I sit down I pray. English is my second language and to be able to write I need God’s help on a daily basis. I would never be the person who I am without God’s grace. He made me with this desire to create. My desire is to honor Him with all I do and say, even with this blog.
