About Karina

Mom. Wife. cybersec PM. Home cook.

Hi! I'm Karina!

I'm a corporate-working mom who’s always juggling meetings, deadlines and hangry kids, but I refuse to let life’s chaos stop me from creating delicious, meaningful meals. I fell in love with cooking through my family and old community cookbooks, where every recipe had a story and every meal brought people together.

Over time, I realized that the lessons from those vintage cookbooks- simplicity, practicality, and meals everyone would actually eat- were exactly what busy moms like me needed today.
