Welcome to The Fast Recipe Food Blog, where you will find delicious, simple, tried-and-tested recipes for every occasion made quickly and with just a few ingredients. I am Adina, the recipe writer and photographer behind the blog.
I aim to offer recipes suitable for busy people trying to feed a family in a healthy, tasty, and budget-friendly way.
"Fast recipes" is the motto. Simple techniques, short cooking times, making the most of the seasonal products, and your pantry ingredients. For instance, I hate buying a miso paste bag, using three tablespoons for soup, and throwing the rest away after I find it expired in the fridge again…
About Adina
I was born in Romania, but I've been living in Germany with my husband and our two amazing children for 20 years now.
I started as a self-taught cook long ago. However, I have thoroughly improved my skills by taking many cooking and pastry training courses.
What to expect from The Fast Recipe?
Many short, simple, and super delicious recipes. The recipes come with clear step-by-step instructions and photos to help you succeed in your kitchen adventures. My aim is for you to be able to make all the recipes on this site.
All the recipes are trustworthy, easy to follow, and suitable for cooks of any skill level!
Relatively healthy, nutritious food, with the occasional splurge, of course. I like to keep track of what I am eating, but I do love cakes… and I think they can find their place in a balanced diet.
What else have I done besides blogging?
I've created and photographed nearly a hundred recipes inspired by Harry Potter for a company in Scotland.
I've also run a small “wedding cake” business for almost 10 years, which I had to give up due to lack of time; it had become too much running a blog full-time and trying to find the time to make huge elaborate cakes at the weekend.
If you want to check my other blog, Where Is My Spoon, do so! You will find almost 2000 recipes there. I started that blog nearly 10 years ago, and it has brought me so much joy, recognition, and fulfillment.
