Hello there! I'm thrilled to have you here on this culinary adventure. I'm Jessica, and cooking is my happy place. For me, it's all about whipping up delicious meals that not only taste amazing but also nourish the body. I don't follow any strict cooking style – my cravings take the lead, and that's where I go with it! In my kitchen, it's like a playground where I get to experiment with an array of flavors, ingredients, and cooking styles, always ready to surprise you with something new!

Funny enough, my love for the kitchen grew over time, despite not having vivid childhood memories of it. However, with my family's rich history of running restaurants and cake shops, I can't help but wonder if my love for cooking is simply in my DNA. Baking, in particular, has been an ultimate love affair!

Beyond baking, I've embraced a passion for crafting savory meals too. Exploring flavors from around the world brings me joy as I create diverse and wholesome dishes. While my cravings lead the way, I'm always mindful of maintaining a healthier approach, even with comfort foods. You'll often find me opting for the oven or air fryer instead of frying, making nutritious choices without compromising taste.

Cooking and baking are my greatest joys, and I can't wait to share these nourishing delights with you! Expect incredible discoveries as we explore the magic of turning cravings into healthier and nourishing dishes. Together, let's embark on this flavorful journey!

Hello there, my name is Michelle, but everyone calls me Mimi and I’m so excited to take you on my Kooking Journey! I'm soon to be a mother of two, so I am constantly on the move between work and family, so life can get pretty hectic. To get away from all the craziness I find solace in my kitchen, I love trying new things whether that is a 3-day long complicated recipe or an easy TikTok trend.

My journey begins at 18, as a Hospitality Major in which I had to take a semester in Culinary Arts.This is really where I started to enjoy being in the kitchen and creating dishes from scratch. Now, don’t let that fool you, I’m very far from being a self-proclaimed chef and honestly I’ve forgotten most of what I learned in that class. But my love for food is still on an incline and there is still so much left for me to explore!

So to keep on my journey, I’m taking over a new challenge: BAKING! Ever since the pandemic, everybody went on a crazy baking trend and I got a bit of FOMO. I was a new mom and honestly didn’t really have the time (or the patience) to bake, but I’ve always been fascinated by the whole chemistry behind it. It looks somehow simple, but full of complexity - and let’s not lie to each other, who doesn’t love a good, warm, perfectly soft bread or pastry? My expectations are starting low, but I know with time I will get the hang of it and I wanna take you along for the ride. I’ll show you my failures, just as much as I’ll share my successes, I’ll be an open book.

Hey there, I'm Bobby, and I've been an enthusiastic member of the Kookio family since 2018.

From the very beginning, I've been driven by a deep passion for two things that have always been at the core of my soul: food and nature. I believe that cooking is not just about preparing meals; it's an art form that allows us to express our creativity, connect with diverse cultures, and savor the beauty of nature's bounty.

My journey at Kookio has taught me the significance of building a community that shares the joy of food, and that's exactly what I aspire to create through this series. It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned chef or someone who's just starting their culinary expedition – I welcome everyone with open arms. Let's learn together and appreciate the magic that cooking brings into our lives.

As we cook and explore, I'll also be sharing personal anecdotes, my misadventures, and the moments that have shaped my love for food and nature. I can't contain my excitement to get started and share my culinary passion with all of you. So, fasten your aprons, sharpen your knives, and prepare your taste buds!

Get ready to be part of "Bobby's Natural Grilling Adventure" where we'll not only explore the deliciousness of food but also celebrate all that nature has to give us.

Let the journey begin!

Hello everyone, I'm Luis, a BBQ enthusiast who's transitioned from a rewarding journey at FOGO Charcoal to a fresh start at its sister company, Kookio.

My BBQ love story began with my large, vibrant family of 24 where traditions were as rich as our homemade BBQ sauces. My Uncle, the Grillmaster, made every weekend an event, filling it with love, laughter, stories, and, of course, amazing food.

Today, as a new father with a growing family, I've found the perfect canvas to recreate my childhood memories: our new home's garden, ripe for BBQ transformation. I want my son to experience the joy and unity that BBQ can bring.

I'm embarking on a journey to create the ultimate BBQ garden, and I want you all along for the ride. We'll not only explore mouth-watering recipes but also delve into ambiance creation, the perfect BBQ soundtrack, drinks, and fun games.

Join me as we uncover the magic of BBQ, sharing stories, challenges, triumphs, and the transformation of our garden. Welcome to my BBQ journey.

Let's fire it up!
