I think it’s time I properly reintroduce myself over here too… 🤎
Hi everyone, I’m Aleemat — the woman behind Aleecooks and Food by Aleecooks. 👩🏾🍳
Some of you have known me for years, some have followed my food journey for a while, and some of you may be discovering Aleecooks for the first time. So, hello and welcome. 🤎
Food has always been so much more than just cooking for me. It’s one of the ways I express myself and show my creativity. I genuinely love experimenting with flavours, developing recipes, trying new things and taking simple ingredients and turning them into something that makes people say, “Ahhh, this is GOOD!” 😂
Honestly, nothing makes me happier than seeing people genuinely enjoy something I’ve created.
But behind Aleecooks, I’m also Aleemat — a wife, a very proud mum of three amazing boys, a woman with big dreams and someone who is VERY ambitious.
I’m a go-getter. When I truly believe in something, I want to give it everything I have.
And lately, I’ve realised that it’s time for me to stop sitting on some of the things I know I’m capable of doing.
I want to take everything I’ve learnt about food over the years, combine it with my creativity and passion, and really see how far I can take it — while still giving myself room to learn, improve and grow.
Because one thing about the kitchen? You never finish learning.
There’s always another technique to master, another flavour combination to discover and another idea waiting to come alive.
And that is exactly what this next chapter of Aleecooks is about.
Cooking. Creating. Learning. Teaching. Sharing. Building. 🤎
You’ll still see my recipes.
You’ll still see me experimenting.
You’ll definitely still see the real kitchen moments 😂.
But you’re also going to see me step into everything I know I’m capable of.
Food by Aleecooks is growing. 👩🏾🍳
Learn, Cook & Dine with Aleecooks is growing. 🍽️
And there are so many other ideas I’ve carried for a long time that I’m finally giving myself permission to pursue.
Do I have everything figured out? Absolutely not 😂. But I’m okay with that.
I’m building.
I’m learning.
I’m showing up.
I’m taking my skills seriously.
And most importantly, I’m going for it. ❤️
So whether you’ve supported me from the beginning, followed quietly from the sidelines, shared one of my posts, recommended my food, ordered from me, encouraged me, or you’re only just discovering Aleecooks today — thank you. 🤎
Welcome to Aleecooks.
Welcome to Food by Aleecooks.
And welcome to this new chapter with me.
I genuinely have no idea where this journey will take me, but I have a feeling we’re only getting started. 🥹🤎
— Aleemat
