Welcome to TeamsRecipes, your go-to place for easy home cooking! I’m Mercotte, and my passion is to share simple, delicious recipes that bring people together. Cooking is not about perfection—it’s about joy, creativity, and love.

Mercotte Easy Home Cooking - TeamsRecipes

I’ve always believed that great food doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether it’s a classic family recipe or a new twist on an old favorite, cooking should be approachable and enjoyable.

That’s why I created TeamsRecipes to share easy, tasty recipes that anyone can make, no matter their skill level.

A Culinary Legacy and a Mother’s Love

Cooking has always been a part of me. As a child, I would spend hours in the kitchen with my mother, watching her turn simple ingredients into something magical. Our small kitchen was filled with warmth, laughter, and the sweet scent of freshly baked cakes.

She used to say:
“Cooking is not just about recipes. It’s about telling a story with your heart.”

But one day, her voice fell silent. I was only 12 when I lost her, and my world changed forever. The kitchen, once a place of joy, became a place of longing. Yet, it was also where I found comfort. Every dish I made, every cake I baked, felt like a way to keep her close—to honor the love and passion she had passed on to me.

Today, I live in Beacon, a charming town just north of New York, with my wonderful husband and our little boy, Louis. Cooking is still my greatest passion, but now, it’s also about sharing. I love baking with Louis, just as my mother did with me. When I see his tiny hands mixing the batter with excitement, I know that love, memories, and traditions truly live on through food.

For me, cooking isn’t just about making meals. It’s about emotions, memories, and the simple joy of sharing something delicious with the people I love.
