About Us

🌸 About Nur Günday

Hi, I’m Nur Gunday — a home cook, leftovers loyalist, and the type of person who measures garlic with my heart 🍲. Recipeway is my kitchen diary, born out of late-night cravings, family recipes scribbled on scraps of paper, and more than a few meals that started with “what if I…” and ended with “okay, maybe not that again.”

I didn’t grow up with glossy cookbooks or picture-perfect kitchens. I grew up in loud, messy ones — pots rattling, oven timers ignored, someone yelling “don’t burn the rice again,” and recipes tucked into old notebooks with coffee stains. Food wasn’t about plating or precision. It was about flavor, about people gathering, about that quiet moment when everyone takes a second bite without saying a word.

To this day, I still cook by feel: a splash here, a pinch there, stir, taste, adjust. Sometimes the smoke alarm joins the party (too often, honestly). Sometimes I forget an ingredient and somehow make the dish better. My freezer is crammed with homemade broth, my spice drawer is out of control, and yes — I’ve turned a frozen pizza into dinner for six with enough toppings and confidence 🍕.

On Recipeway, you’ll find:

• Desperation dinners that came from staring at an empty fridge.
• Family classics whispered from one generation to the next.
• Kitchen flops that taught me more than the successes.
• Seasonal moments — snow-day soups ❄️, July cobblers, cozy fall baking.
• Midnight cravings that turned into recipes I’ll never stop making.

I believe in food that’s real: sauce-stained aprons, mismatched plates, second helpings, and leftovers that somehow taste better the next day. I believe in shortcuts — air fryers, slow cookers, Trader Joe’s emergency hauls — because real life doesn’t pause for a three-hour braise. And I believe the best meals are the ones you share, even if it’s just take-out with friends on a Friday night.

The truth? Recipeway isn’t just about recipes. It’s about connection. When you tell me you swapped an ingredient, made it your own, or served it to people you love, it feels like we’re all in the same kitchen together — laughing, taste-testing, sometimes burning the garlic bread, always eating.

So welcome. Whether you’re here for a Tuesday night quick fix 🍲, a Sunday roast that makes the whole house smell like home 🍗, or a little comfort food after a long day 🧡, I hope you find something that makes you feel full in the best way.

Now grab a fork, join the chaos, and if you try one of these recipes, tell me how it went — the wins, the fails, and everything in between. That’s what makes this fun.

xo,
Nur
