Hello, I’m Leena, the heart and soul behind Leemoe Recipes. My culinary journey began in a cozy, sun-drenched Mediterranean kitchen, where I’d perch on a stool watching my mother weave magic with simple ingredients. She showed me that cooking is more than just food—it’s a way to share love, spark joy, and weave memories that linger long after the plates are cleared.

I can still smell the warm, yeasty scent of her fresh bread, see the vivid hues of spices swirling in her pots, and hear her laughter as she guided my small hands to knead dough or snip herbs. That kitchen was my first classroom, and my mother, my greatest teacher.

Now, as a mom to three lively kids, I’ve traded that quiet kitchen for a bustling one filled with laughter, messes, and love. Life as a parent is a whirlwind—school drop-offs, work, and endless to-dos—but I’ve learned to embrace it. Leemoe Recipes was born from that chaos, a place to share quick, delicious meals that fit real life and win over even the pickiest eaters (yes, my kids are my toughest critics!).

A World of Taste

My passion for food didn’t stop at the Mediterranean. After moving to North America, I discovered the fiery kick of Mexican spices, the soul-soothing depth of Vietnamese pho, and the intricate layers of Chinese cuisine. These flavors blended with my roots, creating a style that’s both timeless and adventurous. At Leemoe Recipes, you’ll find that fusion—Mediterranean heart meets global soul, all wrapped in recipes that are simple yet unforgettable.
