About

Hi, I’m Jezelle, a curious, self-taught home cook and the heart behind Barely Salted.

For someone who likes things just right, cooking has taught me to embrace a little mess and let go of perfection. These days, I consider flour on my shirt a badge of honor, and I’ve learned that burnt edges and last-minute tweaks are just part of the magic.

I grew up learning how to make the most of what was in the kitchen, and that way of cooking has stayed with me ever since. I also love trying out new recipes, exploring dishes from different cultures (even ones I haven’t been to yet), and finding joy in the everyday rhythm of cooking.

Here on Barely Salted, I mostly share easy recipes, food experiments, and little things I’ve learned in the kitchen, including nutritious meals that feel good to eat. But once in a while, you might also find me talking about something completely random, whatever’s on my mind or making me smile.

This space means a lot to me, and I’m happy you found your way here 🙂

Love,
Jezelle
