Hi, I’m Asha, and welcome to Platefullofyum!
I started this blog because I believe cooking is more than just a skill—it’s a life skill. Even if you don’t consider yourself a “foodie” or a chef, there comes a time in everyone’s life when you need to feed yourself—or someone who depends on you. This blog is for people like that: those who want practical, approachable recipes, documented from the heart.
Here, I share every recipe that has been passed down to me as I learned to cook, as well as the ones I discovered along the way. Over time, as my confidence in the kitchen grew, I started adding little tweaks to adapt recipes to my family’s tastes and needs.
But this blog isn’t just about recipes. It’s about the memories we create in the kitchen. Some of my fondest family memories aren’t about the food itself—they’re about the adventures of cooking together: tasting, celebrating successes, laughing at flops, and learning not to waste the dishes that didn’t turn out quite right. Every meal is a chance to share a story, create joy, and nourish both body and soul.
So whether you’re here to follow a recipe, pick up a few kitchen tips, or simply enjoy the stories behind the food, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s make cooking a little more joyful, one plate at a time.
Cheers,
Asha
