This blog is dedicated to people who care about other people and about good food.

My name is Nurit and I write this blog.
They say there is no place like home. And I say, that depends on 1) what kind of family you have, and 2)  what kind of food you are eating.

In my blog I share with you my stories and my home cooking. My cooking is efficient and quick with recipes that are easy to make, taste great, and use common sense and mostly basic ingredients and techniques. In 2 words, it is Delicious & Comforting.

I invite you to Subscribe to my blog. 

I love to get any feedback, ideas, suggestions, questions, comments… Contact me with comments or e-mail me: nurit AT familyfriendlyfood DOT com. 

Thanks! Nurit ***

About Me

I used to be a personal chef to a few rich and famous people, as well as to ordinary families like yours and mine. Then I started thinking that instead of cooking for only a handful of families, I want to help more people have dinner together with their family at the end of the day. This is certainly something I am looking forward to every day.

How did I get to food blogging?

I used to be an organizational consultant and researcher for almost a decade in my previous career because I didn’t want to be another woman stuck in the kitchen. After years of doing that, I have finally admitted that my true love is cooking. So I started a second career as a personal chef and cooked for local celebrities and ordinary families in Seattle and its suburbs for about four years.

After becoming a mom for the second time, I have looked for and found a new direction that combines all my skills and things I care about which turned out to be cooking for and writing about family, friends, a bit of traveling, and good food. Being a personal chef and a parent to 2 kids, plus doing my daily chores and tasks around the clock – like most of us - made me change my style of cooking. Efficiency is key! I prefer quick, easy, family style cooking which helps me deal with trying to do it all and cook most of the nights. Some days we eat leftovers. This is real life, right?!

I left behind the big city life and moved to Microsoft-land about 8 years ago on an August rainy day. Yeah, they don’t call it Rain City for nothing. As the years went by I grew to love this lifestyle and place where raccoons steal the strawberries in our backyard and where I can see trees from the window.

My dream is to write a best-selling cook/food book. The dream is getting closer and closer to becoming  a reality.

To make things even bloggier, my husband is blogging about my blog in his Blog Success blog. I used to write 2 other blogs besides this one. If you want, check out 1 family. friendly. food. at Seattlepi.com and a the Good Food and Bad Food which is mostly about the things that make me mad regarding food (and is published on the Seattle P-I online as well.)
