Between work and school runs, you’ll usually find me testing recipes like my olive oil ricotta lemon cake or my signature brown butter brownies. My recipes are rooted in culture, travel, and the comforting flavors of home. I was raised in an Ethiopian household in Minneapolis, where the air was always filled with the aroma of warm spices and herbs. Those early meals taught me that food is a form of love—a language that connects people across tables and traditions. Now, I live in Georgia with my husband of over ten years and our spirited eight-year-old daughter. Together, they are both my taste-testers and my biggest inspiration. The dishes I share here carry pieces of that story: family, and the beauty of everyday cooking. While I still carry savory traditions close, Browndis has become my creative playground—a place where brown butter runs like gold, flour floats like fairy dust, and spices whisper old stories.
Food photography is where my true passion shines. For me, it’s not just about recipes, but capturing the swirl of batter in a bowl, the golden edge of a cookie, or the way powdered sugar falls like snow. This blog is more than just a recipe collection. It’s a love letter to food that feels timeless yet fresh. Stay as long as you’d like—the kettle’s on, something delicious is browning, and there’s always room at the table.
