About Bianca
Hi, I'm Bianca, and I'm the major foodie behind Damn Spicy! It’s so great to meet you!!!
I come from a family obsessed with cooking from scratch and using only high-quality ingredients (my mom only let me have sodas at other kids’ parties lol), but I didn’t pick up cooking and baking until much later in life. Guess what? In my twenties, I was fine with whatever I could whip up, nightly quesadillas, and baking once a year with a boxed mix!
Fast forward to now, and I’m a recipe developer with over 6 years of experience and the incredible blessing of being able to share my recipes with millions of readers around the world. It’s something I never could’ve imagined, and I feel so lucky to have been given this gift! I’m beyond grateful!
My love for cooking was very gradual (told ya, I started with boxed stuff), but it somehow developed into a real passion where I was looking forward to every meal because I couldn’t wait to make the next delicious dish (highlight of my day, not kidding).
Eventually, I found my way into food photography and recipe development for other websites, and one opportunity led to another. Looking back, I’m so grateful for the doors that opened along the way and for how everything came together to bring Damn Spicy to life!

Every recipe you see on Damn Spicy is developed, tested, and photographed in a real home kitchen. The recipes are tested repeatedly to make sure the ingredients, measurements, cooking times, and instructions work as intended, so you can feel confident recreating them in your own home without wasting time or ingredients.
I also do not use AI to generate my recipes. Every dish you see here is made, tasted, and enjoyed by real people in real home kitchens.
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 girl cat!
🍹 I’m probably sipping on… iced passion fruit juice!!!
🛍 When I'm not busy developing recipes… I'm 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!!!
