Welcome to Cooking and Cooking!

Hi, and thank you for visiting my cooking blog! My name is Shabnam, and I am a web and graphic designer based in Toronto.

Cooking and Cooking is my personal space, created and maintained entirely by me. This blog was born from my love for sharing delightful, fun, and easy recipes with fellow food enthusiasts. Since its launch in November 2009, it has been my passion project, where I document the simple yet flavorful dishes I make at home.

I'm not a professional chef and have never had formal culinary training - I simply love cooking for my family. Here, you'll find a collection of everyday, approachable recipes using fresh, simple ingredients. From mouthwatering desserts to savory main dishes, my goal is to make home cooking enjoyable and accessible to everyone.

And here's a little secret: you don't always need a stocked pantry or a last-minute grocery run to make a delicious meal! Take a look at what you already have in your kitchen, and you'll be surprised at what you can create.

I'd love to hear from you! If you have any suggestions to improve my website or if you try any of my recipes, please share your feedback and tips with me. I hope you enjoy my blog and visit often for more inspiration!
