About Me

Hi, I’m Florin. For as long as I can remember, food has been my love language. I didn’t grow up dreaming of being a chef—but I did grow up around tables full of laughter, stories, and home-cooked meals that brought everyone together. Somewhere between watching my family cook and experimenting with flavors late into the night, I found my place in the kitchen—not just as a cook, but as a storyteller. Cooking, for me, is personal. It’s where creativity meets comfort, and where even a simple dish can carry memories, emotions, and culture. I’m endlessly inspired by global flavors, but I always find a way to make them my own—blending tradition with a touch of spontaneity. Whether I’m recreating a dish from my travels or putting a twist on a childhood favorite, every recipe I share has a piece of me in it. About the Blog Food by Florin is where I share my passion for cooking with anyone who believes food is more than just fuel—it’s connection, discovery, and joy. You’ll find everything from cozy classics to bold, unexpected dishes, along with honest kitchen tips, personal stories, and the occasional food adventure. This blog is for home cooks, curious foodies, and anyone who finds peace in the sound of a simmering pot or the smell of fresh herbs. I hope Food by Florin feels like a friend in the kitchen—encouraging you to try something new, slow down, and most of all, enjoy the process.
