Welcome to My Kitchen!

Hey there!

I’m Kathleen, a passionate food lover, self-taught cook, and former clinical research freelancer based in Vieux Lyon, France. My kitchen is where I experiment, create, and share the delicious flavors of the Mediterranean.

I grew up surrounded by fresh ingredients, home-cooked meals, and the joy of sharing food with family. After working in the fast-paced pharmaceutical industry, I realized that my real passion was in the kitchen, not the lab. So, I took a leap, moved to Lyon, and fully embraced the world of Mediterranean cooking—a cuisine that has always felt like home.

Why I Created This Blog

Cooking should be simple, fun, and approachable—never overwhelming! I started this blog to share authentic Mediterranean flavors, practical cooking tips, and easy-to-follow recipes that fit into busy lives without sacrificing taste.

The 4 Categories of the Blog

🥐 Breakfast – Mediterranean-inspired morning dishes to start your day right.
🥗 Lunch & Dinner – A mix of hearty, flavorful Mediterranean meals.
🌍 World Cuisine – My homemade take on international dishes from around the globe!

I love traveling and exploring flavors from Morocco, Tunisia, France, Turkey, and Greece, learning from different culinary traditions and bringing those flavors into my own kitchen. While Mediterranean food is my specialty, I enjoy putting my own spin on global dishes and sharing them with you!

Here, you’ll find fresh, vibrant, and wholesome recipes made with simple, healthy ingredients. Whether you’re looking for a classic Mediterranean dish, a creative twist on a favorite, or just some kitchen inspiration, you’re in the right place!

So grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine 🍷), stay a while, and let’s cook something delicious together!
