Welcome to In Search Of Yummy-ness ✨


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!

A large white bowl of pico de gallo fresh salsa surrounded by tortilla chips. There is a spoon in the bowl, and a glass next to it.

Hi Reader, It's the last weekend in August, which means summer tomatoes are at their peak. This week I'm sharing two recipes that let ripe tomatoes shine. Neither requires any cooking, and both come together in under 20 minutes. Pico de Gallo A fresh, chunky salsa that's bright and a little spicy. So much better than anything from a jar. MAKE THIS RECIPE Greek Salad Chunky tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, Kalamata olives, and a slab of feta make this one of my favourite salads of all time. MAKE...

A slice of sour cream peach pie with a streusel topping on a white plate with a large fork. The plate is being held in front of a lush green garden bed.

Hi Reader, This sour cream peach pie recipe came to me through a brand partnership years ago. It was a peaches-and-cream tart that I was asked to share. The original recipe is long gone (on both my site and the brand's site), but the recipe itself never left my kitchen. Over time, I started adding nutmeg and cinnamon to the custard because the combination reminded me of one of my favourite doughnuts: the old-fashioned sour cream. That warm flavour of the spices pairs so nicely with sweet,...

A large ceramic bowl full of pesto pasta salad with feta, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and marinated artichokes.

Hi Reader, Today I'm following up on last week's basil pesto recipe. I wanted to share one of my favourite ways to use it: my pesto pasta salad with feta. I was inspired by a version I had at a cafe in Orillia, Ontario (years ago), and I've been making my own ever since. It's loaded with sun-dried tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, olives, and feta, and it tastes even better the next day, which makes it great for meal prep. The pesto recipe I shared last week makes just enough for this...
