hey there!
Hey, I'm Evelyn Matos!
I’m Evelyn Matos, the cook behind NadiKitchen — a home-cooking space built on clarity, reliability, and real-life kitchen testing. If you’re looking for recipes that work the first time, use everyday ingredients, and don’t require chef-level equipment, you’re exactly where you need to be.
HOW IT STARTED
I began cooking the same way many people do — trying to get dinner on the table during busy weeks, searching for recipes that were simple, dependable, and actually matched what I had in my pantry. After years of collecting family recipes, testing new techniques, and refining my own flavors, I realized something important:
Most people don’t need fancier recipes — they need clearer ones.
That’s why I created NadiKitchen. Every recipe is written with straightforward steps, timing windows (not guesswork), and visual cues like “edges golden and set” so you always know what success looks like.
How Our Recipes Are Tested
Quality matters here. Each recipe goes through a home-kitchen process designed to match how real people cook:
- Multiple Tests: savoury dishes are tested at least twice, baked goods up to three times.
- Precise Details: pan size, rack position, oven temperature accuracy, heat levels, prep times, rest times.
- Swap Guidance: simple ingredient swaps using U.S. grocery-store staples.
- Storage Notes: how to store leftovers, reheat, or make ahead without losing flavor.
If a recipe doesn’t give consistent results, it doesn’t get published — full stop.
Meet the Team
NadiKitchen is led by Evelyn, but two essential people help bring every post to life:
Evelyn Matos — Founder & Head Recipe Developer
I create, test, and refine every recipe, making sure instructions are clear, practical, and written with real-kitchen precision.
