Welcome to In Search Of Yummy-ness ✨

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read • Recipes

Hi there,

I'm Shareba, the creator behind the food blog In Search Of Yummy-ness (which I started in 2010!).

I have a Culinary Arts Certificate from George Brown College in Toronto, Ontario, and over 16 years of blogging experience.

I love developing recipes for my website and am passionate about food photography.

Every recipe on this website is developed, tested, written, styled, and photographed in my own home. No AI-generated content here!

What you'll find in my newsletter:

  • Cozy dishes and drinks that make every season feel a little more special.
  • Caribbean comfort food rooted in my Trinidadian heritage.
  • Practical how-to guides to help you build confidence in the kitchen.

I share comfort-food recipes for every season, and the occasional behind-the-scenes moment from my kitchen and garden.

If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd love to have you join us!

This spiced apple cider is a delicious take on classic mulled cider.

I hope you enjoy my recipes! Thanks for reading 💌.

⭐️ P.S. If you make any of my recipes, I'd appreciate it if you could leave a quick comment and star rating on the blog post. Your review will help others find and enjoy these recipes too!

A large wooden bowl full of summer kale salad with strawberries, blackberries, sunflower seeds and cashews. There is a mason jar with bright yellow honey Dijon dressing next to the bowl, as well as a camera, pepper mill, and a tin with forks.

Hi Reader, Berry season is here, and I have two new salad recipes to share this week. Both feature fresh summer berries and come together quickly as a side dish or a light lunch. 🍓🫐 If the idea of fruit in a savoury salad sounds a little odd, don't worry. The berries actually add a nice pop of sweetness that balances out the other flavours really well.

Whether you are firing up the grill or just settling into a relaxing Friday night, I have the perfect drink to kick back with. To my friends in the US, think of this as an upgraded, deeply savoury cousin to the classic Bloody Mary, made with clam juice! If you have never tried a Canadian Caesar cocktail before, I...
