Welcome to Cooking With Isabella!
Hi, I’m Linda Harris — the heart and hands behind Cooking With Isabella! For as long as I can remember, the kitchen has been my favorite place in the world. It’s where laughter fills the air, aromas tell stories, and every dish becomes a memory.
My love for cooking began when I was a child, standing on a small stool next to my grandmother, Isabella, watching her turn simple ingredients into soulful dishes. She believed that every meal carried a piece of love, and that belief shaped the way I cook today. Cooking With Isabella is named after her — a tribute to the woman who taught me that food is more than sustenance; it’s connection, creativity, and comfort.
How It All Started
The idea for Cooking With Isabella came to life when I realized how much joy I found in sharing my family’s recipes and kitchen discoveries with friends and colleagues. Over time, my little hobby turned into a passion project — a space where I could preserve old traditions while exploring new culinary adventures from around the world.
I started documenting recipes not only to keep Isabella’s spirit alive but also to help home cooks everywhere discover the beauty of homemade meals. From cozy comfort food to modern, elegant dishes, my goal is to show that anyone — no matter their skill level — can create something delicious, beautiful, and nourishing.
Why You Can Trust Me
With over 20 years of experience in the kitchen, I’ve learned through both triumphs and burnt pans what works — and what doesn’t. I’m not a classically trained chef, but my expertise comes from hands-on experience, endless curiosity, and an honest love for good food.
Every recipe shared on this site is tested, tasted, and perfected in my own kitchen before I publish it. I believe in clarity, precision, and a touch of storytelling — because I want you to feel confident and inspired each time you cook.
When you try a recipe from Cooking With Isabella, you can be sure it’s made with care, passion, and a promise: it will taste just as good as it looks. My goal is to make cooking approachable for everyone — from busy parents to curious beginners — by combining timeless flavors with simple, reliable techniques.
A Little More About Me
When I’m not in the kitchen covered in flour or surrounded by simmering pots, you’ll probably find me exploring local markets, tasting street food, or experimenting with new flavor combinations. Cooking is my language of love, and traveling is how I find inspiration for new stories on the plate.
I’ve visited over 40 countries so far, and in every one, I’ve brought back a little piece of culinary magic — from the spices of Morocco to the herbs of Italy and the warmth of Mediterranean family kitchens. These experiences continue to shape my recipes and remind me that food truly unites us all.
At home, my kitchen is always open. Whether I’m hosting Sunday dinners, teaching my kids their first recipes, or developing new dishes for the blog, I aim to make cooking feel joyful, stress-free, and meaningful.
