Welcome to In Search Of Yummy-ness
We believe that cooking should be comforting, not complicated.
The recipes here on In Search Of Yummy-ness are designed to be delicious without demanding hours in the kitchen.
We love sharing little shortcuts and smart tips along the way, so you can get meals on the table faster without sacrificing flavour.
At the top of every new (or updated) recipe, you'll also find a quick overview of the time and effort involved, making it easier to choose the dishes that work best for your schedule or the kind of day you're having.

Brand Story
In 2010, Shareba started In Search of Yummy-ness with her friend Mandy as a restaurant review blog. The website was just a hobby, a place to document their many food outings.
Eventually, Shareba began to feature small Canadian businesses that were making cool food products.
Over time, though, she realized that her true passion was cooking and sharing recipes.
After completing her Culinary Arts certificate at George Brown College, she decided to evolve her food blog into a space dedicated to seasonal comfort food and cozy cooking.
