Hi, I'm Ashley

I’m Ashley Manila, and I’m here to help you create a delicious life!

Good food is a cornerstone of happiness, and the best memories are created around the table… bar… kitchen island… or picnic blanket. I believe food should look just as good as it tastes, and that a little garnish goes a long way! But most of all, I know time is precious, so there’s no room in life for dry cake, burnt cookies, or bland pasta. I obsessively test recipes behind the scenes in pursuit of perfection, and strive to be a trusted recipe resource for you and your loved ones. Essentially, I deal with recipe flops and mountains of dirty dishes so you don’t have to! You just get the good stuff!

All of the recipes, menus, and entertaining ideas I share here are developed to help you feel confident, inspired, and joyful in the kitchen! I hope you’ll use them to bring people together, create long lasting memories, and build new traditions with your loved ones!
