History of the Lovekitchen.me blog

2013

How did culinary art come about?

Lovekitchen.me blog?

I always worked a lot and didn't cook at home before, I usually ate in cafes and restaurants. I got used to eating deliciously, beautifully, and when I started cooking, I tried to recreate the same at home. I started to get so good at it that my friends, relatives, and even my mother-in-law asked me to share recipes, and I constantly dictated them on my phone. One day I realized that I no longer needed a notebook to write down recipes, but some kind of digital database. That's how LOVEKITCHEN.ME appeared.

In just a year, in some strange way, the blog has already gathered about 10,000 readers, and companies working in the kitchen appliance industry have begun to offer cooperation.

2016

Restaurant criticism

Once, while visiting a restaurant with friends, I liked a dish so much that I decided to share my impressions with my readers. The post became so popular that I couldn't help but continue doing it. In my reviews, I always share my real impressions, trying to explain to people why it's good or bad. Thus, in addition to useful information about the establishment, people gain new knowledge about certain dishes, namely: how a certain dish should look, how it is prepared, how it is served, etc. Interestingly, not only my readers perceive my reviews in this way, but also some chefs, for example, in the ZhZL restaurant, after my review, they removed a dish from the menu that, in my opinion, did not correspond to its name.

Unfortunately, "COVID" happened in 2019, it made adjustments to our leisure time and I almost stopped writing reviews, but I will definitely return to them.

2017

First cookbook

In the process of constantly preparing various dishes, I became interested in baking homemade sourdough bread and told my readers a lot about it, constantly shared my achievements in this area with them. People asked me to teach them how to bake the same way, explain the processes of working with dough and sourdough, publish recipes, etc. I thought for a long time about how best to present the information: publish articles and recipes on a blog, hold an online marathon or courses, or even start offline master classes. But my husband advised me to think about a book, and I realized that this would be the best option. So in 2017, my first cookbook, a self-instruction manual on baking homemade sourdough bread, was published. The book was so successful that it even appeared on pirate sites, and publishers began to contact me with offers to publish cookbooks on other topics. I'm currently working on four more cookbooks, a book about mushrooms, and two very interesting thematic recipe collections, so don't forget to subscribe to the blog's newsletter so you don't miss anything :)

My passion for cooking led me to start a blog, write cookbooks, and become a food critic. But the more I delved into the world of cooking, the more I felt like something was missing - quality ingredients, special tools, etc.

Thus was born Lovekitchen.me - my own brand of craft products for the home and kitchen. Now each of you can find quality products, tools and ingredients to create your own masterpieces. All Lovekitchen.me products are created taking into account my culinary experience.
