About me

Hi there! I’m Chloe Dawson, the home cook, food writer, and flavour enthusiast behind YeRecipes.com—a cozy corner of the internet where everyday meals turn into something a little more magical.

I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, where food has always played a big role in my life. From Sunday roasts with my family to discovering international dishes at bustling food markets, I’ve been fascinated by the way food brings people together.

My love for cooking truly took off in my twenties. I wasn’t trained in a professional kitchen—I learned the way many of us do: through trial and error, stained cookbooks, late-night cravings, and a lot of laughter (and maybe a few burnt pans). What started as a personal passion quickly became something I wanted to share with others.

That’s how YeRecipes.com was born.

Real Food. Simple Ingredients. Big Flavour.

I believe good food doesn’t have to be complicated. My recipes are designed for real life—whether you’re cooking for your family, hosting friends, or just craving something cozy after a long day. You’ll find everything from quick weekday dinners to indulgent desserts, healthy salads, comforting soups, and nostalgic Aussie favorites.

Each recipe is tested in my own kitchen and written with love, clarity, and a few handy tips along the way. I want you to feel confident every time you cook—no matter your skill level.

A Bit More About Me…

When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll probably find me sipping flat whites at a local café, browsing vintage markets, or walking my Aussie Shepherd, Olive, along the coast. I also love gardening, journaling, and exploring new cuisines—especially Thai, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean.

I currently live in Byron Bay with my husband and two young kids, who are my biggest taste-testers and honest critics!

Let’s Connect

Cooking is more than just food—it’s a way to connect. I’m so glad you’re here, and I hope YeRecipes becomes your go-to for comforting, creative, and downright delicious meals.
