✨ My Story

It all started on a quiet winter Saturday when I was eight years old.
The kitchen was warm, the sun was shining in, and the smell of fresh coffee wrapped around me like a hug. My mom was baking her favorite coffee and cardamom cake. I was her little assistant—cracking eggs, mixing batter, sneaking tastes.

That cake, that moment, that feeling… stuck with me.

That’s where ElyseRecipes truly began.
