    About Bianca

    I'm Bianca, and I'm the founder, recipe developer and major foodie behind Damn Spicy. I create all the recipes, take photos of them, write them up, and post them for you and your family to enjoy!

    I believe that cooking (and baking) should be fun, approachable, and reliable! My goal is to take the difficulty out of both and make them easy and enjoyable for you!

    My recipes are flavor-packed, made with authentic ingredients, and tested to ensure reliability. I always include step-by-step instructions that make them achievable no matter your skill set!

    Why you can trust my recipes

    I'm a full-time recipe developer with over 6 years of experience. All my recipes go through repeated testing to ensure consistency and reliability. I do not use AI to generate any of my recipes: all the food you see is made (and eaten) in my kitchen by humans!

    What I’m known for:

    • Comforting weeknight dinners that your family will love.
    • Indulgent desserts that make baking easy and fun.
    • Recipes from different cuisines made with authentic ingredients.
    • Expert cooking tips that make you feel confident no matter your skill set.


    Fun facts about me

    Most days you can find me… In the kitchen with my cat Brie (yes, I named her after the cheese hehe!).

    I’m probably sipping on… passion fruit juice!!!

    When I'm not busy developing recipes… I'm shopping at the mall, getting my nails done, or hanging out with my favorite people!

    My biggest kitchen fail was… peak Holiday season, a double dozen Christmas cookies are baking in the oven, the kitchen suddenly starts to smell like FISH… turns out I'd accidentally used baking soda instead of baking powder and left the baking powder out entirely… YIKES!!!
