Hi food fellas, my name is Lena and I am coming from Indonesia. I have always been passionate about cooking since I was teenager. I will followed my mom to many markets in my home town from traditional to the modern one. It was such a wonderful experience to have a lot of knowledge about the food sources. I still remember if me and my mom went to the market, my mom will explain to me every single herbs, vegetables, meats, kind of fish or anything that we found in the market and as a reward, we ate a local street food.
Growing as an Asian daughter, it is common for me to help my mom in the kitchen and that is where my talent came from. We spent alot of time together in the kitchen then we decided to start making money by selling our food. Together with my mom I started my first small online food bussiness since 2012. It was an amazing journey for doing something that me and my beloved one passion about. But unfortunetly at 2014 my mom passed away. It breaks my heart and I stopped for a while. I have no motivation to do any cooking or be in the kitchen. But my family need to eat so I started to cook again. Every single time when I cook, I could feel that my mom is still there to support me. That faith lead me until now I make my own website and I know my mom will proud of me.
My passion about cooking and food have been growing bigger since I start to living abroad at 2017 until now . I lived a year in Netherlands, 2 years in Denmark and now almost 3 years in Turkey. I learnt so many continental recipes directly from the local and as traveler myself, I love to explore a new food from many countries and recook it in my own kitchen. With all my experiences I would like to share my recipes with some cooking tips to make your cooking activity more fun and enjoyable. Welcome, to my kitchen.
