Meet Chef Clara – The Heart Behind Urban Recipes

Welcome to Urban Recipes, where home cooking meets heart and heritage. I’m Chef Clara — a self-taught home cook, Mediterranean at heart, and mom of two wild, wonderful boys who are my top taste-testers.

A Flavorful Beginning

My love for cooking was born in a tiny kitchen in our family’s Mediterranean restaurant. As a child, I watched my mother and grandmother prepare meals using simple, fresh ingredients and a whole lot of love. No fancy gadgets. No strict measurements. Just tradition, intuition, and soul.

Those early days taught me that cooking is more than just food — it’s memories, family, and comfort on a plate.

From Mom Life to Meal Magic

Life got busier when I became a mom, but the kitchen never stopped being my creative space. Between school runs and bedtime routines, I found joy in turning everyday ingredients into something special — and sometimes just into something that gets dinner on the table fast!

That’s when Urban Recipes was born: a blog where I could share simple, tasty, and family-friendly recipes with other parents, food lovers, and anyone just trying to make a meal without losing their mind.
