Hi there, I’m Cindy — Welcome to My Kitchen!
I’m the recipe developer, home cook, and flavor chaser behind Cindy Recipes — your new go-to space for homemade meals with a global twist.
From my cozy kitchen in New Orleans, Louisiana, I share healthy, heartwarming recipes inspired by tradition, culture, and the joy of experimenting with new flavors.
Where It All Began
My love for cooking started at a young age, standing beside my grandmother as she lovingly prepared meals for our family. Those early memories — the smell of herbs, the sound of sizzling pots, and the stories passed down through food — became the foundation of my cooking journey.
Today, those cherished family recipes still live on in my kitchen, often with a creative touch to bring them into the modern day.
My Cooking Philosophy
At Cindy Recipes, I believe great food doesn’t have to be complicated or full of processed ingredients.
You’ll find dishes that are:
- Healthy and homemade, never relying on store-bought mixes or overly processed shortcuts.
- Made with simple, everyday ingredients, easily found in any pantry.
- Designed to introduce global flavors in a way that’s approachable and family-friendly.
Whether you’re juggling a busy family schedule, just starting your cooking journey, or simply love trying something new — my blog is here for you.
My Inspiration
I’ve been fortunate to travel across different cultures, and my kitchen reflects those journeys — especially my deep love for Italian and Japanese cuisine.
And if you’re a salad lover like me? You’ll find bold, exciting salad recipes here that are anything but boring.

- Fresh, wholesome meals you can make any day of the week.
- World-inspired recipes that bring international flavors right to your table.
- Comfort food with a twist — nourishing, nostalgic, and never bland.
- Beginner-friendly recipes with clear instructions and helpful tips.
