About me

Hi, I’m Lily, the heart and hands behind Well Done Recipes.

Cooking has been a lifelong love affair for me, one that started in my grandmother’s warm, bustling kitchen. I still remember the scent of freshly baked bread wafting through the house, the sound of a wooden spoon scraping the sides of a mixing bowl, and the way my mother’s hands moved gracefully as she rolled out dough. Food was more than just sustenance in our family—it was a language of love, a way to bring people together, and a source of endless joy.

 

A Culinary Legacy

I come from a long line of home cooks. My grandmother, Maria, was famous in our small town for her Sunday feasts, where neighbors would gather around our table, sharing stories over heaping plates of homemade pasta. My mother, Elena, carried on that tradition, making sure every meal was made with care and packed with flavor. She taught me that a great dish isn’t just about ingredients—it’s about the passion and the memories that go into it.

As a child, I spent hours flipping through old recipe books, experimenting in the kitchen, and scribbling down my own creations in a worn-out notebook. I loved the process of transforming simple ingredients into something magical. What started as a hobby soon became my calling.

The Birth of Well Done Recipes

I created Well Done Recipes to share my love for home cooking with the world. This isn’t just a collection of recipes—it’s a place where tradition meets creativity, where classic dishes are honored, and new flavors are explored. I believe that anyone can cook with confidence, and my goal is to provide you with recipes that are approachable, delicious, and, most importantly, made with love.

Whether you’re a seasoned home chef or someone just starting out, I hope my recipes inspire you to get into the kitchen, make a mess, and create something truly special.

From my kitchen to yours, welcome to Well Done Recipes—where every dish is made with heart.

Happy cooking!
—Lily
