About Me | Chef Kolla

---

Let's face it - You can't just read a cookbook and become a gourmet chef overnight.  Just like many other things, you have to craft your skills over time. But on that journey to becoming that incredible chef you aspire to be, you still have to eat, and you might want something quick and easy.  That's exactly what this blog is all about - cooking made easy!

I remember the first time I had to prepare myself a meal. I was a young adult, fresh out of college and trying to make my way in this world.  At the time I thought "What's the big deal? Cooking shouldn't be so hard," and boy was I wrong.  I learned the hard way that making pasta wasn't so easy. It was then that I realized that becoming a great cook was going to take some time, and ever since then I have truly enjoyed experimenting with a variety of ingredients and recipes in order to perfect my craft. I have learned many lessons in the kitchen over the last several years, but I believe the biggest one is that the simplest, easiest meals can end up being the ones that are the most memorable and delicious. That is why I decided to create this blog - To encourage those of you who want to try out new things in the kitchen, and to share some of my best recipes that don't require too much effort. 

I believe we all have the ability to not only make meals that we enjoy eating, but to also make meals that WOW our taste buds without overcomplicating things. The meals on this blog can be made from the most novice to the most experienced cook.  Designed to be made easy and often times healthy, these recipes are sure to build your confidence in the kitchen. 

Kolla Kooks is all about you and your individual journey with cooking. As a constant student of the art, I welcome you to not only try these recipes at home, but to also share your recipes, modifications and tips with me and the rest of the Kolla Kooks community.  I am always interested in learning more ways to create memorable experiences through cooking. I also encourage you to sign up for the newsletter so you can stay on top of the latest posts and recipes.
