About Us – The Story Behind Daily Golden Recipes
Hi there we’re Jacqueline & Redondo, and here’s the real story of how Daily Golden Recipes was born…
Two Kitchens, One Heart
We didn’t grow up in the same city, or even the same culture.
But we both grew up in kitchens small, warm, and filled with love.
Jacqueline was raised in the U.S., but her story begins long before that in India. Her parents immigrated with suitcases full of memories, spice jars tucked between clothes, and a deep love for their culture. At home, her mother’s hands worked magic: rolling dough for roti, toasting spices until the house sang with aroma. Cooking wasn’t just a routine it was a ritual of love.
Redondo’s journey was quieter, more personal. From a young age, she watched her mom cook measuring without measuring, tasting by instinct. It wasn’t fancy. It was real. It was comfort.
Years later, after her mom passed away, the kitchen became her way back to those 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 on a little-known online cooking forum.
No algorithms. No brand deals. Just two hearts sharing recipes.
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.”
From that moment, we weren’t strangers anymore. We were two people holding memories in a pan.
We started exchanging emails. Recipes turned into voice notes. Voice notes turned into calls.
And one day, we realized: we don’t just love cooking —
We love the stories behind the food.
We love how a single dish can carry an entire childhood.
We love how recipes can bring people together — even strangers.
And just like that, Daily Golden Recipes was born.
What Daily Golden Recipes Is All About
This isn’t a brand. This isn’t just a blog.
It’s our kitchen table and you’re always welcome at it.
Here’s what we pour into everything we share:
- Comfort food with a cultural soul. Indian dishes from Jacqueline’s roots, nostalgic comfort meals from Redondo’s past — all made simple for your home.
- Stories in every bite. Because we believe recipes without context are just instructions. Ours are living memories.
- Real-life tips & honest moments. This is not a polished cooking show. This is two women who’ve burned rice and cried over soup — and learned along the way.
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 helped us hold onto our families.
It helped us build a new friendship.
And now, we hope it helps you find a little joy, a little peace, or a new memory in your own kitchen.
Whether you came here looking 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.
