Fresh from the kitchen

Hi, I’m Teresa

I’m a wife and proud mom of three teenagers living in Calabasas, California. I’m not a chef, but I grew up surrounded by Italian home-cooked meals, where food was always a way to bring everyone together. After marrying my Israeli husband, I discovered how much our food traditions share, often using similar ingredients with different spices and flavors.

My kitchen brings those two worlds together. I created From Teresa’s Kitchen to share easy, delicious recipes and simple hosting ideas that help you bring people together and create a beautiful, welcoming home without the stress. You don’t need a perfect house or a complicated menu to create a memorable evening. A homemade meal and a warm welcome can be more than enough. What matters most is seeing everyone settle in, reach for seconds, and stay a little longer.

Welcome to my kitchen. I’m so happy you’re here.
