Hi! I’m so glad you’re here.
First things first, my name is Lisha.
Since I was a little girl I’ve loved cooking. I used to pretend I owned a restaurant, and I made menus for my family, obviously with many choices of milkshakes! I imagined that I would one day own a restaurant called deLishas (see what I did there?!). This food blog isn’t too far off from my childhood dreams!
My mom was the one who pushed me to create my own food blog. She’s also the one who reminded me of that silly name ‘deLishas’ when I was stuck for weeks trying to come up with something clever. Thanks, mom.
For the love of food
My first ever attempt at baking by myself resulted in inedible brownies with literally half a cup of salt in them.
Since then I’ve cooked and baked many more things, some complete fails (we won’t get too into those)…but many delicious wins as well!
I like to think that baking and cooking are not things that you either can or cannot do, but rather, skills to be learnt over a lifetime. I want to be a part of that journey with you.
Someone once asked me, ‘Do you eat food to live, or do you live for food?’
The answer seemed pretty clear to me. I love everything about food. I love making it, I love experimenting with it, I love photographing it, and I certainly love eating it!
Okay, so not everyone is as food-obsessed as me, but that’s no excuse not to have some great recipes up your sleeve. And besides, once you try some of my recipes there’s a pretty good chance you will become food-obsessed. Just kidding. Kind of…
The point of the matter is, this blog was born from my love for food and cooking. And the really cool thing is it was born on my 16th birthday! (A big thanks to the creators of all those YouTube videos that helped me to figure out this confusing world of website development!)
Since then, I’ve just powered on with this little website of mine. It really is a great excuse to make lots of food! Honestly, I just find this world of cooking, writing, photography, and website design so exciting. I couldn’t think of a better way to express these passions of mine.
And talking about photography; teaching myself how to take good food shots has been quite a challenge, but one I’ve really enjoyed.
It’s helped me to develop my photography skills across the board – one other thing I really enjoy taking pictures of is animals…I even have an Instagram for that if you want to check it out (wink, wink!).
Final Words
Just before you think I’m TOTALLY weird teenager, my life does extend a bit further than food.
I love spending time with my friends and family, playing hockey and soccer, running, being in nature, doing art, crafting, and sewing! Okay, maybe I am just a little weird 😜
Anyways, I’d just like to take a mo’ to thank you (yes you!) for being awesome enough to spend your precious time reading my blog and trying out my recipes. You make it all worth it.
Lots of love,
Lisha x
