Recipes worth cooking
Honest recipes from a home kitchen, tested until they actually work.
I'm Maya. I cook, I burn things, I rewrite recipes until they're foolproof — and then I share them here. No 800-word life stories before the ingredients list, promise.

Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes
Tall, tender pancakes with a buttery crust and a soft, fluffy middle. The resting step is the small detail that changes everything.
Overnight Oats, Three Ways
One reliable base recipe and three flavour combinations I rotate through almost every week. Five minutes tonight, breakfast sorted tomorrow.
Ten-Minute Shakshuka
Soft-set eggs nestled into a spiced tomato sauce. A genuinely ten-minute version of the dish, built around tinned tomatoes.
Weeknight Tomato Pasta
The pasta I make when I have no plan and no patience. Six ingredients, twenty minutes, a sauce that clings properly.
Garlic Butter Shrimp
Plump, juicy shrimp in a glossy garlic-butter sauce. Fifteen minutes from fridge to table, with a sauce that begs for bread.
Creamy Mushroom Risotto
Loose, glossy, intensely savoury — the risotto I finally cracked after years of getting it slightly wrong.
