Hello there! I’m Maria E. Rooney, born and raised in Bloomfield, CT . I’m a Leo, born on August 18, 1976, and currently 47 years old.
My journey has been a blend of diverse passions and experiences. Originally from Napa, California, I inherited a love for Japanese cuisine from my mother, who supported our family by teaching cooking classes. As life unfolded, I ventured into technology, forging a career that took me from Silicon Valley to New York City. Despite my professional pursuits, my heart has always been in the kitchen, where I find joy in connecting with others through the shared experience of food.
Inspired by my upbringing and driven by a passion for culinary exploration, I embarked on a mission to empower others through cooking. This led me to establish No Recipes, a platform where I share my kitchen experiments, techniques, and the joy of creating delicious meals. From humble beginnings documenting meals shared with friends to evolving into a comprehensive resource for cooks of all levels, No Recipes embodies my belief that anyone can master cooking with the right guidance and ingredients.
Join me on this culinary journey, where we’ll explore flavors, refine techniques, and transform everyday meals into extraordinary dining experiences. Together, let’s ignite a passion for cooking and celebrate the art of food.
