❤️ Our Story: From Clashing Kitchens to One Happy Table
We didn’t fall in love over candlelit dinners.
We fell in love over arguments about chickpeas.
He was raised in a loud Mediterranean kitchen, olive oil shimmering, eggplant charring, herbs crushed by hand, everything measured by feeling, never a spoon.
I grew up in a calm Scandinavian home, clean flavors, root vegetables, rye, and a deep respect for precision, tradition, and timing.
Our worlds couldn’t have been more different, or so we thought.
In our first year together, food became a battleground.
I thought his vegetables were too oily.
He thought mine were too plain.
We both missed the tastes of home… and secretly wondered if love was enough.
Then one night, after yet another failed “fusion” dinner, we sat down in silence with a takeout salad neither of us really wanted. That’s when we made a promise:
“Let’s stop trying to win the kitchen. Let’s build one together.”
We started recreating vegetarian meals we both loved, fresh, fast, and full of flavor. We leaned on ideas from meal kits, added our own twists, focused on produce and pulses, and kept things balanced (well, mostly). With each recipe, we weren’t just building dinner…
we were building our life.
