Hi! Marisa M. Hsu
Hey, I’m Marisa M. Hsu, the face and hands behind this recipe blog. Cooking has always been more than just a hobby for me—it’s a way to share love, culture, and creativity on a plate.
From testing family recipes passed down through generations to experimenting with new flavors from around the world, I believe food tells stories that words can’t.


My goal is to offer straightforward, simple-to-follow recipes that are wholesome and actually taste good.
A little bit more about me

On this blog, Easy Recipe Journal, you’ll find a mix of comfort food, quick weeknight meals, and a few indulgent treats I just couldn’t resist sharing. My goal is simple: to inspire you to cook with confidence, whether you’re a beginner in the kitchen or someone who’s been cooking for years.
When I’m not developing recipes or photographing dishes, you’ll usually find me at local markets, traveling for new culinary experiences, or sharing a meal with loved ones. I believe food has the power to bring us all together, and I’m so glad you’re here to join me.
On this blog, you’ll find:
- Family recipes passed down and loved.
- Quick and easy meals for busy days without sacrificing flavor.
- Twists on global favorites to keep things fresh and exciting.
- Food photography to inspire your own culinary adventures.



Food photography
Along with recipes, I also pour my love for food photography into every post. I believe food should look as good as it tastes, and through my camera lens, I try to capture the beauty, texture and emotion of every dish.
When I’m not developing recipes or photographing dishes, you’ll usually find me at local markets, traveling for new culinary experiences or sharing a meal with loved ones. Food for me is about connection—and I’m so glad you’re here to be part of this journey.
All of the food images you see on the website are mine.
