WELCOME TO Abella Cooks
Hi, I’m Abella, and I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome you into my personal cooking world! This is Abella Cooks, where I share my culinary journey, my favorite recipes, and the cooking adventures that fill my kitchen with joy every single day. This is my space to connect with fellow food lovers and invite you to cook alongside me as we explore flavors, techniques, and the pure satisfaction of creating something delicious from scratch.
Let me share how cooking became such an integral part of who I am. I’ve always been someone who finds deep satisfaction in creating things with my own hands, and cooking became my favorite form of creative expression. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about transforming raw ingredients into meals that nourish both body and soul, and that process of creation has become one of my greatest passions.
My culinary story began in my childhood kitchen, where I spent countless hours watching and learning from the cooks in my family. I was fascinated by how they could look into a refrigerator full of random ingredients and somehow create a complete, delicious meal. I wanted to understand that intuitive cooking ability, and I started experimenting with my own combinations and techniques from a very young age.
During my teenage years, I discovered that cooking was my way of showing care for the people I loved. I began preparing meals for friends, bringing homemade treats to school events, and volunteering to cook for family gatherings. I found that food had this amazing ability to bring people together and create moments of genuine connection and happiness.
My cooking philosophy really developed during college, when I was living independently and cooking for myself daily. I realized that I didn’t want to just follow recipes—I wanted to understand cooking well enough to create my own dishes and adapt recipes to my personal taste preferences. This led me to experiment extensively, sometimes failing spectacularly but always learning something valuable in the process.
I’ll never forget the first time someone asked me to share the recipe for a dish I had created entirely from my own instincts and experimentation. That moment made me realize that my personal approach to cooking—combining technique with creativity and always cooking with genuine enjoyment—might be something worth sharing with others.
Over the years, I’ve developed my own distinctive cooking style that balances respect for traditional techniques with personal creativity and adaptation. I love exploring different cuisines, experimenting with seasonal ingredients, and finding ways to put my own personal stamp on both classic dishes and completely original creations.
My approach to cooking has always been deeply personal—I cook the food I genuinely want to eat, using methods that work in my real kitchen with my actual schedule and preferences. I believe that the best cooking happens when you’re authentic to your own tastes and circumstances rather than trying to replicate someone else’s style exactly.
Today, at 27, I’m excited to share all of that personal cooking experience and individual style through Abella Cooks. This platform is my invitation for you to join me in my kitchen adventures, try the recipes that have become my personal favorites, and discover your own authentic cooking voice. Whether you’re looking for new recipe inspiration, want to explore different cooking techniques, or simply enjoy following along with someone else’s cooking journey, I’m here to share my personal culinary discoveries with you.
When I’m not cooking and developing new recipes, you’ll find me exploring farmers markets for seasonal inspiration, experimenting with new ingredient combinations, or planning my next cooking adventure.
