About Me
Hi, I’m Alva — and I’m so happy you’re here!
Welcome to Alva Recipes, my cozy little corner on the internet where I share sweet, simple, and from-scratch recipes inspired by family, memory, and pure love for homemade food.
Where My Passion Began
I grew up in a peaceful town in America, where open skies inspired endless dreams. As an only child, I spent most of my time next door at my grandmother’s house — a warm, colorful world filled with blooming flowers, fragrant herbs, and baskets of ripe fruit from her backyard garden.
Of all the fruits she grew, her strawberries were my favorite. Sweet, sun-kissed, and bursting with flavor, they sparked my passion for fresh, wholesome ingredients.
But the real magic happened in Grandma’s kitchen. With just a few humble ingredients, she could create pies that brought the whole neighborhood together. Her kitchen was always full of laughter, love, and the comforting aroma of home-baked goodness. Watching her cook taught me that food isn’t just nourishment — it’s connection.
A Legacy Continued
By the time I turned 18, I was already creating recipes of my own, guided by her spirit and determination to carry on her legacy. Now, in my 30s, even though she’s no longer with me, every dish I prepare carries a piece of her soul.
Alva Recipes is more than a blog — it’s a tribute. A celebration of warm memories, kitchen creativity, and recipes that bring people together. Here, you’ll find dishes made with heart, just like Grandma’s.
