👩🍳 About Me – Shani S.
Hi, I’m Shani, the self-proclaimed “crook” behind Cooking Crook. I’ve always loved taking a recipe and making it my own — whether that means sneaking in extra spices, switching up the method, or combining flavors no one saw coming.
Cooking should make you smile, surprise you, and maybe even make you feel a little rebellious. If that sounds like your kind of kitchen, you’re in the right place.
Thanks for stopping by — now let’s stir up some mischief and make something delicious.
