My Food Philosophy
At Micaela’s Kitchen, Italian food is my first love — rustic, simple, rooted in tradition, and full of flavor. But my table is always open to inspiration from beyond Italy’s borders.
Cooking, for me, is a way to tell stories, honor memories, and explore new cultures. That’s why you’ll occasionally find recipes from other cuisines here — dishes that I’ve discovered on my travels, in books, or through friends, and that have earned a place in my kitchen.
Whether it’s a twist on a classic or a completely different dish from another part of the world, I share it because it sparked joy, curiosity, or comfort.
I believe that food connects us, teaches us, and surprises us — and I hope this space reflects that spirit.
So while my roots are Italian, my approach to cooking is open-minded and adventurous. If you’re curious too, you’re in the right place.
Why I Created Micaela’s Kitchen
Because I believe cooking doesn’t have to be complicated or intimidating. With just a few good ingredients and a spark of creativity, every meal can become a moment of pure joy. And because every recipe — just like every person — has a story worth telling. ❤️
