Hey there, food lovers!
I’m Mina, the heart and soul behind Chef Yuma — your go-to place for easy, fun, and truly delicious recipes made for everyday life.

Believe it or not, cooking wasn’t always my thing. My journey started with burnt pasta, overcooked meals, and a lot of trial and error. But somewhere along the way, the kitchen became my happy place — and that messy beginning slowly turned into a real passion.

How It All Started

Let’s rewind a bit. I’ve always loved grocery shopping — walking through the aisles, discovering fresh ingredients, and imagining what they could become in the kitchen. But my true introduction to cooking began when I was a kid, watching my dad cook with confidence and joy. He taught me the basics: how to chop vegetables, season food properly, and most importantly, how to cook with love.

At first, I kept things simple — pasta, basic salads, maybe an omelet on a good day. And honestly, not everything was a success. Some early dishes were… questionable. My family bravely survived many kitchen experiments, and those moments became part of the learning process.

From Messy to Mastery

Fast forward to today, and everything has changed. Cooking is no longer a hit-or-miss adventure — it’s something I truly enjoy. My kitchen is where I feel most at home, creating meals that my family and friends constantly ask me to make again.

I cook for my family, for my kids, and for anyone who loves good food. There’s something magical about sharing a meal, hearing that first “mmm,” and knowing that a simple dish brought people together.

Why Chef Yuma?

I created Chef Yuma because I know exactly what it feels like to stand in front of the stove, wondering if dinner is already ruined. I’ve been there.
