Hi, I’m Sophia – the chef behind MedTastes, your companion on a flavorful journey through the Mediterranean.
My love for Mediterranean cuisine didn’t come from a single moment, but from a long, beautiful adventure through the sun-drenched countries that hug the sea. I spent many months living across Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and Croatia—soaking in not just the sunshine, but the smells, flavors, and traditions of each place.
What struck me the most during my travels was how much these countries have in common when it comes to food. They all know the true meaning of flavor. Fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, golden olive oil, ripe tomatoes, and simple ingredients transformed into meals that bring people together. Every bite felt like a celebration of life.
But it wasn’t just the food. It was the lifestyle. The relaxed pace, the meals shared slowly in the open air, the laughter around the table, and the connection between nature and nourishment. The Mediterranean isn’t just a region—it’s a feeling. One of warmth, simplicity, and joy.
That feeling stayed with me.
And so, MedTastes was born.
I created this blog to share my experiences, recipes, and love for Mediterranean cooking with anyone who wants to bring a bit of that magic into their own kitchen. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a passionate home cook, you’re welcome here.
You’ll find authentic recipes inspired by my time abroad—some traditional, some with a modern twist. Think Moroccan tagines, Spanish tapas, Croatian seafood, and Portuguese comfort food. I also share helpful tips, kitchen hacks, and stories from the places that inspired each dish.
MedTastes isn’t just a recipe blog. It’s a community—a place for food lovers who believe in eating well, living simply, and savoring every bite.
So come join me in the kitchen. Let’s cook, learn, and taste our way across the Mediterranean—together.
With flavor and love,
Sophia
