I am Reina, someone who loves cooking and sharing it with others. Cooking has been part of my life since I was a child. Over time, I wrote cookbooks and taught many people how to cook. My goal is to make cooking easy and enjoyable for everyone, whether you are new or experienced. When I’m not in the kitchen, I spend time with my five cats who bring me happiness and fun.
Cooking means more to me than just making food — it’s a special way to connect with people and make memories. I grew up watching my family turn simple ingredients into meals made with care.
This inspired me to start my own journey in cooking and eventually share my ideas with many others. That is how the blog Cook with Reina began — a place for food lovers to find inspiration and enjoy new recipes.
Through cooking, I’ve learned it’s not only about flavors but also about creativity and joy. I believe anyone can cook well, no matter their experience, and I want to help people feel confident in the kitchen.
Whether you’re just starting or looking for fresh ideas, I aim to make cooking fun and easy for all.
I have been lucky to publish books where I share my recipes, tips, and cooking secrets. Teaching cooking has also given me great pleasure because I see people grow and feel proud of their dishes.
Besides cooking, I have five lovely cats who keep me company and add laughter to my daily life.
While they may not be chefs, they enjoy the little treats I share with them!
This blog shows my passion and the skills I’ve built over time. I hope it encourages you to try new dishes and enjoy cooking as much as I do.
No matter what kind of meal you want to make — quick dinners or special treats — you’ll find something here. Let’s explore the excitement of cooking together!
