Hi, I’m Jaz, the one behind this site.
Picking a name for this site had me going through many ideas until I thought, why not include a bit of myself in it? That’s how “Recipes by JAZ” came into being.
My mom is the real inspiration for this site, and she’s the one who taught me most of what I know about cooking. Honestly, I am blessed to have amazing cooks in my life. My big sister (who is also my best friend) and my mother-in-law are great cooks who keep inspiring me to make my dishes even better.
This site is truly special to me. It’s where I’ll share recipes that are a hit in my home. And let me tell you, pleasing my kids and husband with food is no small feat—they’re very particular about flavors.
I’ll keep updating recipes here as I learn new things to make them taste better, healthier, or easier to make.
I never compromise on flavor, but I try to use less oil or butter, choose healthier oils, or cut down on sugar when I can. I don’t follow mainstream trends and don’t stick to just one type of cooking. I cook what I enjoy.
A little about me: I’m not a chef, nutritionist, or dietitian. Just a mom and wife who loves making yummy meals that result in happy bowls and plates.
By the way, “happy bowls” is what we say when everyone finishes their whole meal and the bowls are empty.
Happy cooking and stay in touch!!
