Welcome to Cook With Aura!

I’m Aura—a poet at heart, a storyteller in the kitchen, and someone who believes that food is the ultimate bridge between cultures. My love for cooking started in my childhood, surrounded by the flavors of my Romanian heritage, where every meal was an opportunity to celebrate life and connect with the people I love. But my passion doesn’t stop there. I’m endlessly curious about the world’s cuisines and how every dish tells a story about where we come from, who we are, and how we connect.

​

Cooking, for me, is a poetic act. Every ingredient holds meaning, every recipe is a narrative, and every dish has a soul. This blog is my canvas, where the art of food meets the joy of discovery. Whether I’m drawing inspiration from my roots or exploring the techniques and flavors of another culture, I’m here to bring those stories to life—one recipe at a time.

​

I couldn’t do this without my husband—the man behind the camera, the keeper of our visual stories, and my greatest supporter. Together, we’ve created this space to celebrate not just the food on our plates, but the history, creativity, and human connections that come with it.

​

Here, you’ll find a mix of everything: recipes inspired by my Romanian background, reimagined classics from across the globe, and bold new ideas that push the boundaries of tradition. My goal is to share dishes that inspire you to cook, connect, and explore with an open heart and a curious palate.

​

This blog isn’t just about recipes—it’s about celebrating the stories, techniques, and cultures that make food so extraordinary. So whether you’re here to learn about a dish from my heritage, discover a new global flavor, or simply find inspiration to try something different, you’re in the right place.

​

Let’s cook, explore, and dream big together. Because food isn’t just what we eat—it’s the story we share with the world.

 

With love,

Aura
