Daniela Lambova - food photographer, recipe developer, cookbook author
I believe the most beautiful food - and the most beautiful life - is never perfectly arranged. For more than 14 years I have been teaching people how to make homemade desserts and finding beauty in imperfection through my photography.
I'm the creator behind Dani's Cookings, one of Bulgaria's longest-running food blogs, publishing in both Bulgarian and English.
What you will find in Dani's Cookings
- From scratch recipes with simple ingredients
- Classic dessert recipes with sugar and all-purpose flour
- Diet friendly and healthier baking options
Dani's Cookings celebrates the love of desserts in all their forms, for all tastes and diets. My goal is to help the readers with my experience and knowledge to make delicious and pretty desserts at home.
I care about health and nutrition but also about balance. My inspiration is the mediterranean diet and the joy for food that people living in this area have. I believe that homemade desserts are a small luxury and are beneficial for us in small quantities. Moderation, savoring every bite and self love should be our goals in our relation with food.
But I also believe that people with food intolerances should be able to enjoy baked goods and desserts. That's why you will find here diet friendly recipes such as keto, vegan, gluten and dairy-free and refined sugar-free.
My story
I grew up filling notebooks with recipes before I even knew what a food blog was. My formal background is in languages: I studied at a Spanish-language secondary school and earned a degree in Portuguese Philology. After university I spent 13 years in corporate management at a large multinational firm, working across cultures and countries.
Despite the career success, I couldn't ignore how much I needed to create. In 2019 I made the leap, leaving management to build a creative business from scratch, with the blog as its foundation.
My corporate experience taught me to approach both my recipes and my client work with rigour: clear communication, attention to detail, priority on the delivery goals.
