About

Hi, I’m Alexandra, recipe creator, food lover, and the voice behind The Everyday Dish. I started this blog as a space to share the kind of food I love most: cosy, balanced, and seasonal dishes that feel like a treat but are simple enough to make on a busy weekday.

My love for cooking started early, in the kitchen with my mum. I grew up in northern Transylvania, nestled in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania, where food is deeply woven into the fabric of family and culture. Cooking wasn’t just about feeding ourselves; it was about connection, tradition, and care.

Today, based in London, I carry those roots with me while exploring fresh, modern ways to cook and eat. I’m always experimenting with flavours, adding little twists to familiar favourites, and finding ways to make even the simplest dish feel a little more special.

The Everyday Dish is for anyone who loves good food — whether you’re just learning to cook or looking to bring more ease and joy to your daily meals. My goal is to inspire you with accessible recipes, practical meal prep tips, and thoughtful touches that make everyday cooking feel just a bit more elegant.

You’ll find lots of pasta here (my ultimate comfort food), plus plenty of make-ahead meals, healthy-ish staples, and the occasional personal story or kitchen tip. And yes, I’m definitely that person who swears by her kitchen scale and treats her KitchenAid like a prized possession.

Thanks for stopping by. I’m so glad you’re here, and I hope you find something delicious to cook today.

With warmth,
Alexandra
