These are the recipes I come back to, year after year. Some take 15 minutes and three ingredients, others might steal your whole Sunday afternoon – but they’re all here because they’re worth it. Whether you need a quick pasta for tonight or you’re ready to tackle that multi-day bread project, you’ll find it here.
I love hearing how these recipes turn out in your kitchen – the tweaks you make, the traditions they become part of. Drop me a note if you try something.
Take a look around. Cook something good. ♥️
About Feeling Foodish
Hi, I’m Marie
Hello! I’m Marie Pinto Bialek, a first-generation Italian-American self-taught cook based out of the Philadelphia area and the writer and cook behind this site. Have spent most of my life in the Philadelphia area, with roots in the Campania region of Italy, I draw inspiration from my Italian heritage and Philadelphia upbringing. Frequent visits to Central NY (Utica) and a brief stay in the Midwest have also influenced by cooking and baking.
Growing up in Philadelphia significantly influenced my cooking. The city’s rich culinary heritage, with its iconic dishes like soft pretzels, tomato pie, and Philly roast pork, instilled a deep appreciation for local flavors, and the vibrant food culture in Philadelphia introduced me to a diverse range of cuisines and ingredients, inspiring me to infuse my cooking with a blend of influences.
