About Us – The Story Behind Daily Golden Recipes
Two Kitchens, One Heart
Hi there we’re Jacqueline & Redondo, the women behind Daily Golden Recipes.
We didn’t grow up in the same city or even the same culture but our hearts were shaped by the same kind of kitchen: small, warm, and filled with love.
Jacqueline’s story begins in India, though she grew up in the U.S. Her parents arrived with suitcases full of memories and spice jars tucked between clothes. Her mother’s hands worked magic in the kitchen, rolling dough for roti and toasting spices until the house sang with aroma. Cooking, for her family, wasn’t a routine it was a ritual of love.
Redondo’s story was quieter, rooted in comfort and care. She grew up watching her mother cook by instinct measuring without measuring, tasting as she went. When her mom passed away, the kitchen became her sanctuary, a place to reconnect with those tender moments. She didn’t just cook to eat she cooked to feel close, to remember, to heal.
Two stories. Two women. One love: the kind of cooking that comes from the soul.
A Chance Encounter That Changed Everything
We met years ago on a small online cooking forum.
No brand deals, no algorithms just two home cooks sharing recipes from the heart.
Jacqueline posted a spiced lentil dish from her mom’s collection. Redondo replied, “My mother made something so similar. Just reading this brought tears to my eyes.”
And just like that, two strangers became friends.
Recipes turned into emails. Emails became voice notes. Voice notes turned into calls.
Somewhere along the way, we realized:
We don’t just love cooking —
we love the stories behind the food.
The way a single dish can carry an entire childhood.
The way recipes connect people who’ve never even met.
And that’s how Daily Golden Recipes was born.
What Daily Golden Recipes Is All About
This isn’t just a recipe blog — it’s our kitchen table, and you’re always welcome at it.
Here’s what you’ll find here:
🍲 Comfort food with a cultural soul.
Indian recipes from Jacqueline’s roots, nostalgic comfort meals from Redondo’s past — all made simple for your home.
💛 Stories in every bite.
We believe recipes without context are just instructions. Ours are living memories you can taste.
🥣 Real-life tips & honest moments.
We’ve burned rice, cried over soup, and learned that perfection isn’t what makes food special — love does.
And most of all, we’re here to remind you:
You don’t need fancy ingredients to cook with heart.
You don’t need to be perfect to create something golden.
All you need is a little love… and maybe some cinnamon.
Why We Do This
We didn’t start Daily Golden Recipes to go viral.
We started it because food saved us.
It held our families together. It built our friendship.
Now, we hope it helps you find a little joy, a little peace, or a new memory in your own kitchen.
Whether you’re here for a weeknight dinner or a slice of something sweet, we hope you find more than just a recipe —
we hope you find a sense of home.
From our story to your table,
Welcome to the Daily Golden Recipes family.
