Welcome to Young Soul Kitchen

I’m Laura-Ellen, A Young Soul in the kitchen.

Firstly, Welcome! I’m so excited that you’re visiting Young Soul Kitchen.

As much as I enjoy creating delicious recipes, preparing food that is both affordable and delicious can take some time, don’t you think? That’s why I created YSK to assist you in turning cooking into an enjoyable experience rather than a chore, a task on the “to-do list,” or even a stressful experience. Cooking affordable recipes should never be stressful!

During 2022, the cost of living around the world has soared rapidly leaving many families/individuals vulnerable.

Prices of the cheapest food items in supermarkets have surged in the past year, with campaigners warning that the poorest families are being disproportionately hit by the cost of living crisis.

In addition to the bills and other expenses that many must pay, the cost of groceries has soared. Now that many will be struggling to pay their expenses, many people are more likely to eat less nutritious meals and meals that compromise on flavour. But preparing meals will also create a concern for many families/individuals trying to keep their spending down.

Young Soul Kitchen intends to provide recipes that are affordable, delicious, nutritious, and soul-hitting! Along with that, I hope to strengthen your relationship with cooking : )

A Bit More About Me…

Where do I start when it comes to my childhood? When I was a child, I was everywhere…

Due to my parents’ demanding jobs, I was born in the United Kingdom but moved back and forth between the United Kingdom, South Africa (my home country), and the United Arab Emirates. My cooking adventure started with my family in South Africa. They had a big influence on my desire to create and cook soul-satisfying food. I’ll absolutely be sharing some of their mouthwatering recipes that remind you of how food can be so memorable.

When I returned to the United Kingdom, I didn’t have my family’s influence, but that didn’t hold back my desire to learn. I experimented with various ingredients to see what worked best. In addition, both of my parents had demanding jobs, so the food they cooked was not prepared with love (the first rule of cooking is to cook with love haha). So, as a foodie, I naturally took on the responsibility of preparing and creating meals for my family.

Sounds like an easy job? It wasn’t.

I was still a student at the time, so balancing my studies and preparing meals was challenging. My mother is a creature of habit, so she is very selective about food. My father eats everything but vegetables and rice, and what about my sister? She was the real challenge. She’d go gluten-free one week and vegan the next. But this isn’t about my family; it’s about helping you and your family.
