My go-to sous-chef—and the one in charge of cracking eggs—is my daughter, Lea. She’s the daily reminder that the best “secret ingredients” are a lot of laughter and being okay with a little kitchen chaos.

IZOOCO began as a simple online recipe file for our family favorites, but it didn’t stay small for long. Now it’s my way of inviting you in to cook the way we do: real food for everyday life. No complicated methods, no list of impossible-to-find ingredients—just easy, flavor-filled recipes meant to bring comfort and togetherness to your table.

No matter if you’ve been cooking for years or you’re still learning your way around a spatula, there’s a place for you here. I hope Yumyy helps you feel brave enough to try new things, inspired to gather the people you love, and totally justified in saving the last cookie for yourself.

Thanks for being here. Let’s make something amazing—maybe a little messy—together
