Welcome, to Cooking At Home With Bella Lafay! My mission is to educate, inspire, and encourage you to feel confident in your kitchen. I’ll guide you through essential techniques, tips, and recipes that make cooking easier.
My journey began as a teenager, inspired by generations of women known for their culinary skills. One day, I found my great-grandmother’s pound cake recipe and decided to give it a try. I followed it exactly, only to watch in horror as the batter oozed, uncontrollably, up and out, down the sides of the pan. I didn’t understand then, but I do now—it was simply the wrong pan size. Instead of giving up after that mishap, I kept cooking. Eventually, I learned bundt pans come in different sizes. I halved the recipe, used the same pan, and the cake has turned out perfectly every time.
This channel is about connecting through food, showing you that cooking is something anyone can master.
