hey there, i’m bianka!
Welcome to Damn Spicy, here you’ll find a selection of both sweet and savory recipes that have been tested, developed, and eaten in my kitchen!
I have a huge passion for world cuisine, I’m that one friend that always comes up with a new recipe to share along with all the tips and tricks ⏤ I just can’t stop talking about food!
my goal…
My goal is to share recipes from around the globe, keeping them authentic and easy to recreate, no matter your skillset or where you live!
I believe that making food should be fun and creative instead of a boring, dreadful task and getting into world cuisine is the best way to keep food adventurous!
more about me…
I didn’t grow up cooking or baking as many other bloggers, on the contrary, for a very long time I ate to survive, not caring about cooking or trying out different dishes. Food just wasn’t on my mind, back then.
As I grew up, I discovered my passion for cooking and baking and I started broadening my horizons by trying different cuisines and dishes. Some of my favorite cuisines include Georgian, Russian, Greek, and Mexican cuisine!
about damn spicy…
I started Damn Spicy in 2020, a dark year for many of us, determined to begin a new chapter in my life.
Food played a big role in 2020, turning into a bonding experience, a fun adventure, and even a new hobby or skill for many people out there. Suddenly, everyone was online and everyone was cooking, searching for the next dish to make to bring some sparkle to their day.
I wanted to be part of that.
I immediately started sharing all my favorite recipes: from my super popular Greek lemon rice, to my emergency-baking small batch brownies.
And here I am, sharing new recipes every week, with a mix of savory and sweet and all the tips and tricks you might need! If you’re interested in how I started blogging and how it’s going, you can find my monthly blogging reports here!
Thank you for following along and trying out my recipes. You guys made my 2020 a bit more sparkly and gave me the confidence to pursue food blogging! 🧡
