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 when I was a little girl standing beside my grandmother as she lovingly prepared meals for our family.
The smell of fresh herbs, the sound of sizzling pots, and the warmth of her kitchen sparked my lifelong passion for food.

Those early memories became the foundation of my cooking journey.
Today, those cherished family recipes still live on in my kitchen — often with a creative, modern touch that keeps them fresh, fun, and full of love.

My Cooking Philosophy

At Cindy Recipes, I believe great food doesn’t have to be complicated or filled with processed ingredients.

You’ll find dishes that are:

  • 🥦 Healthy and homemade, never relying on store-bought mixes or shortcuts.
  • 🍋 Simple and approachable, made with ingredients you can easily find in any pantry.
  • 🌎 Globally inspired, bringing new flavors from around the world to your table.

Whether you’re juggling a busy family life, starting your cooking journey, or simply love discovering something new, my recipes are made with you in mind.

My Inspiration

Travel has been one of my greatest teachers.
Each culture I’ve explored has left a little flavor in my kitchen — from Italian comfort dishes to the delicate balance of Japanese cuisine.

And if you’re a salad lover like me, you’re in for a treat!
Here, salads are anything but boring — they’re colorful, crunchy, and bursting with creativity.
