About

Hi, I’m Deli, the soul behind DelisDishes. I’m 38 years old, and my love for cooking has been simmering since I was just a little girl.

My passion for food was born in the heart of my family kitchen, standing between my grandma and mom, watching them turn simple ingredients into something magical. I remember those cozy mornings when the smell of spices filled the house, and I’d be right there — apron too big, eyes wide with wonder — learning how to fold dough, stir sauces, and listen for that perfect sizzle in the pan.

They didn’t just teach me how to cook — they showed me how food brings people together, tells stories, and creates memories. Their love and care in every dish sparked something in me that never faded.

Over the years, that spark turned into a true calling. Cooking became my way of expressing love, creativity, and connection. Whether I’m re-creating a beloved family recipe or experimenting with new flavors, I pour my heart into every dish.

The name DelisDishes comes straight from the heart. It’s a mix of my name — Deli — and a playful nod to “delis,” little hint of what you’ll find here: dishes that are full of flavor, comforting, and irresistibly tasty — the kind that make your mouth water before you even take a bite.

DelisDishes is my personal table, open to you. Here, I share recipes inspired by my roots, my culture, and the joy of cooking that’s been passed down through generations. My hope is that these dishes bring comfort, flavor, and a little piece of my story to your home.

Thank you for being here. Welcome to my kitchen.

With love,
Deli
