Karine Lemoine

Good morning

My name is Karine. I am the author of Cooking-AtHome.com. Since a young age, I have been passionate about cooking and everything about the art of preparing meals.

The passion for cooking came to me when I was still a kid.

At that time, I spent summer vacation at my grandmother's house and often helped her prepare meals.

My grandmother's cooking was simple but authentic.

I wasn't the type to give big, flashy presentations. To take revenge, he tried to simplify his cooking by using fresh, carefully prepared foods

.

Thus, even the most basic dishes have acquired an incredible dimension in his hands.
Later, as a teenager, I had to participate naturally in the tasks of daily life. My parents gave me a choice.

He could do the dishes or help with the cooking. Being quite creative in nature, the choice was made quickly. At that time I didn't know how to prepare a lot of things, so I made tortillas

...

I made a lot of tortillas, so my parents had to eat tortillas three times a week for a few months, which allowed me to master new recipes.

Then, I had the opportunity to live in different countries and to discover new flavors and new techniques. For me, the art of cooking is learned in books on the Internet, but you learn mostly by watching how others do it.

Cooking is much more than a set of techniques. Cooking is a means of expression and an art.

Whether you are a three-star Michelin chef or an amateur cook, cooking is a universal language that allows us to share and explore.

That is why I decided to create this blog. On the one hand, sharing my experience and passion and, on the other hand, providing information to anyone interested in the subject.

The field of exploration when it comes to cooking is endless.

Whether it's techniques, ingredients, or equipment, the purpose of this site is to share knowledge.

It is sometimes difficult to see clearly in all the information available on the Internet; among the press articles, the effects of fashion, it is not easy to know how to orient yourself correctly.

At Cooking-AtHome.com, we do not intend to offer the absolute truth on this or that subject; our ambition is to share first-hand opinions and experiences with readers based on our own experience.

During my years of experience, I have had the opportunity to use many different types of equipment; whether they are more or less sophisticated machines or more or less qualitative utensils, I have been able to form my own opinion on most of the elements that fill modern kitchens.

The ideal kitchen equipment will also depend on numerous factors.

If you cook at home with little space, if you are used to cooking for 25 people on Sundays or if you are a semi-professional looking for high-end equipment, your needs will surely be very different.

That is why we strive to provide practical advice that takes into account the fact that there is no perfect equipment, but rather solutions that adapt to everyone's needs.

Today, I am mainly dedicated to home cooking and baking: homemade cakes and great classics of Western cuisine. Always curious, I am also increasingly interested in Asian cuisine and I like to explore new recipes whenever the opportunity arises. When it comes to gluttony, my two biggest weaknesses remain cheese and pasta!
