Hello and welcome to Cooking1000,
a cozy corner of the internet where food, creativity, and passion come together. My name is Dalya Chi, and I created this space to share my love for cooking and to inspire others to discover the joy that happens in the kitchen.

Where My Love for Cooking Began
My journey with food started long before this website. I grew up surrounded by the comforting smells of home-cooked meals and the belief that food is more than just nourishment — it’s a language of love, a way to connect with people, and a powerful tool to create memories. Over the years, what began as a simple hobby has grown into a deep passion, one that I now share with thousands of readers around the world.
