ABOUT CHARLENE
Hey, I’m Charlene!
I’m the voice and hands behind Ashley’s Cooking, a place where I share everything I’ve learned about making fresh food fun, approachable, and delicious.
Cooking has become my passion after years of experimenting in the kitchen with my old sister Ashley, going from baking to exploring the endless world of other recipes.
You might notice the site is called Ashley’s Cooking, not Charlene’s. I created this space to honor my sister Ashley, who passed away from kidney failure. She always dreamed of starting a food website, and I’m keeping that dream alive through this site. Every recipe here is a tribute to her love of cooking and the memories we made together in the kitchen.
A Little About Me
I graduated with a degree in Nutritional Sciences from Vienna University and worked as a dietetic consultant before dedicating myself to recipe development.
While nutrition is part of my background, here I focus purely on the joy of cooking. When I’m not in the kitchen rolling dough or snapping photos, you’ll find me watching films or hanging out with my cat, Greta, who definitely runs the household.
Tested Recipes, Step-by-Step
Every recipe on ashleyscooking[dot]com has been cooked and tested by me. I take the time to photograph each step so you can follow along with confidence. If you ever run into a hiccup, I encourage you to leave a comment, I read all of them and love helping out.
What You’ll Find Here
On ashleyscooking[dot]com, you’ll find a delightful array of recipes featuring all sorts of dishes, courses, sides, diets, and so much more.
We’re all about making delicious food easy to enjoy, without any tricky techniques or hard-to-find ingredients.
