🍴 About Us – The Story Behind NiamNiamNiamRecipes

My name is Lena Moore, and I’m the founder of NiamNiamNiamRecipes.
If you ask me when I became a chef, I couldn’t tell you exactly. It wasn’t a lightning bolt moment it was more like a quiet unfolding, the kind that happens while life keeps simmering in the background.

I grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, in a house where the kitchen was the heart of everything. Even when times were hard, there was always warmth and food that tasted like forgiveness. That’s where I learned what cooking could be: not just about ingredients, but about love, memory, and belonging.

For years, I cooked for my family, my friends, my neighbors anyone who showed up hungry for comfort. What started as a personal ritual turned into a way of connecting, healing, and celebrating life’s messiness.

When I launched this blog, it was just me, my old stove, and a few stories to share.
Today, it’s so much more than that it’s a kitchen filled with voices, laughter, and shared dreams.
Each member of our team brings a different kind of warmth to the table.
