My Story: How This Food Blog Was Created

Hello! My name is Zuzana Torbiková, I'm originally from Slovakia and cooking is my great passion. 💚 If you love food, homemade flavors and simple recipes that leave a strong impression, you've come to the right place!

My culinary adventure began in childhood. I watched my mom in the kitchen and as a little girl I lovingly prepared pancakes for my brothers – probably because they loved them and I wanted to make them happy. 😊

Although I always wanted to study languages, I eventually decided to go to a hotel academy. And that's where it all started... Cooking, baking, an exchange stay in Germany, working in gastronomy - everything came together. Getting to know new tastes and cultures opened my eyes and taste buds.

After school, I moved to Germany, where I was on my own. So I cooked – first classics from Slovakia, then I started experimenting. Christmas pastries, traditional dishes, and modern desserts. I wanted food to be not just food, but an experience. My boyfriend kept telling me: “You have to share this!” And so the idea for a food blog was born.

It wasn't easy at first - I knew nothing about photography, food styling or blogging. But with every meal, with every photo, I learned. Today, I have cabinets full of plates, bowls, props and I still look forward to cooking, photographing and sharing something new like a little child.

About recipes

On my blog you will find recipes that are simple, quick and prepared with love. They are not complicated, but they always have something extra – a taste, an idea or a little trick that makes them special. I test everything myself and cook it so that not only you, but also your family will enjoy it.

My recipes combine tradition, seasonality, current trends and a dose of creativity. You'll find classics in a new guise, sweet and savory inspirations, recipes for holidays and everyday meals - in short, food for every day that can be managed without stress, but with taste.

Why a blog?

I want to show that cooking can be a joy, not a chore. That even simple food can be beautiful, delicious, and inspiring. That cooking doesn't have to be perfect - it just has to be from the heart.

I will be happy if my recipes inspire someone. If my idea for a quick lunch ever saves you or a simple cookie with coffee pleases you. ♥️

Thank you for being here. I hope you find something delicious here and come back to me with joy.

With love,

Susan
