Hi, Hola, Oi! My name is Dominique. I am Brazilian by birth, Spanish by blood, American by choice and a bit Hawaiian by marriage. I was born and raised by ‘very’ Spanish parents in São Paulo-Brazil and I spent part of my childhood living in Madrid-Spain. I moved to Los Angeles-California from Brazil right after college and met my other half– who happens to be Hawaiian. Many years later, two kids, one dog and many meals in between here I am!

I’m a self-taught home cook. It started when I was about eleven-years-old and it never really stopped. My full-time working mother was not the best cook. She did a handful of really tasty dishes but that was all she did all the time. I took over the cooking and made the kitchen my happy place.

Dealicious Cooking started a long time ago as a way for me to plan weekly menus based on local grocery store deals – thus “DEALicious”.  Although I continue to plan meals around seasonal and sale ingredients, Dealicious Cooking is now a space where I document my favorite recipes and creations.

I hope you have a chance to try some of my recipes and that you keep coming back for more.

Thanks for stopping by and checking Dealicious Cooking!
