About Me

Hi — I’m Maya (Maya Bennett). I’m the home cook behind Whisk & Serve, where I share simple, dependable recipes that help busy people put delicious meals on the table. I started this blog because food has always been how I say “I love you” to family and friends — and because good food should be easy to make.

My story

I grew up watching my grandmother turn simple ingredients into memorable meals. Over the years I collected those techniques, tested hundreds of recipes, and learned shortcuts that actually save time without sacrificing flavor. Now I write recipes I want to eat every week and show readers how to do the same.

What you’ll find here

This site is a toolbox for home cooks. Expect:

  • real recipe ideas you’ll use again and again,
  • family-friendly dinner recipes that aren’t fussy,
  • quick breakfast ideas to start the day right,
  • simple tutorials for baking a reliable cake,
  • easy-to-follow chicken recipes,
  • comforting pasta dishes,
  • indulgent dessert recipes, and
  • small bites and starters like appetizer recipes for entertaining.

How I test recipes

Every recipe on Whisk & Serve is tested until it’s consistent and easy to follow — I test in real kitchens (not on a perfect set), time the steps, and make sure the ingredients are pantry-friendly. If it makes my weeknight rotation, it makes the blog.
