Hi, and thank you for visiting Easy Recipes List! (That’s me, Michael!)
I’m a 30-year-old passionate chef living in California. Food is my happy place, especially when it’s about making delicious, healthy meals accessible to everyone. 😉 I love creating new recipes and sharing the joy of cooking with people around the world, and I’m so happy you’re here.
My Love for Cooking
I was introduced to cooking at a young age, helping my mom in the kitchen. It wasn’t always glamorous – lots of chopping vegetables! – but I quickly learned to appreciate the power of a good meal to bring people together. More than the technical skills, I loved the ability to express care and creativity through food.
As I got older, life got busy, and cooking sometimes took a backseat. But after spending several years as an assistant chef specializing in healthy cooking in Los Angeles, I rediscovered my passion and realized I wanted to share it with others. I launched Easy Recipes List to create a space where anyone, regardless of their skill level, could find inspiration and confidence in the kitchen. I focus on quick, practical recipes using fresh, healthy ingredients – because good food should nourish both body and soul. I also hold a Food Safety Certification, so you know my recipes are not only tasty but also prepared with safety in mind!
I’m so grateful for this space and have exciting plans for the future! I hope you find some cooking inspiration here and stick around for the ride. 🙂
A Little More About Me
I grew up in a small town in Southern California, where family dinners were a sacred tradition. My parents instilled in me the importance of education and a healthy lifestyle, which led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Culinary Arts from the University of California.
I’ve always had a burning desire to explore the world – and food is the perfect way to do it! I love traveling and immersing myself in different cultures, learning about new ingredients and cooking techniques. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit several countries, from Italy to Thailand, and each experience has enriched my culinary perspective.
I met my amazing partner, Alex, during college, and we share a love for adventure, good food, and our ridiculously fluffy Samoyed dog, Luna. We enjoy hiking, trying new restaurants, and hosting dinner parties for friends and family.
