Hello! I'm Shalane, the recipe creator, curator, food stylist, and photographer behind Hello Good Cooking.
I've been a lover of food from before I can remember.
Growing up, I was spoiled with exceptional food. Mom was and continues to be an amazing cook - she'll whip up any cuisine you can think of - Asian, Caribbean, European, North American, you name it. No matter the dish, it's always a feast for the senses.
Eventually, food became my way of exploring the world. It's a big part of why I love to travel and how I learn about people and culture. Admittedly, it's also a big part of why I moved to NYC.
Amidst enjoying the incredible NYC restaurant scene, my kitchen and I weren't very well acquainted. Then came the pandemic, and out of necessity, I began to dabble. Little did I know, that my love for food, would quickly blossom from eating into cooking and blogging about it too.
Now here we are - many meals later and still learning so much every day. I'm so grateful to be on this incredible journey with you and so excited for what's to come!
