Welcome to Cooked Savor – Where Global Flavors Meet Homemade Love
Hi, I’m Mia! I’m a traveler, professional, and mom, passionate about creating meals that reflect my heritage and experiences. Whether discovering new flavors abroad or juggling deadlines at home, I craft dishes that nourish the soul and bring the family together around the table.
Cooking with me means caring for your loved ones—and savoring every moment and bite along the way.
My Culinary Journey: Roots, Travel & Family
Food has been a part of me from the very beginning. My father is Brazilian, my mother is from Virginia, and I spent ten formative years in Brazil exploring its bold flavors and vibrant spices. Between my dad’s adventurous cooking and my mom’s comforting American dishes, I developed a lifelong passion for global cuisine.
My love for travel has further enriched this passion. On a trip to India, captivated by the culture and flavors, I met my husband, a warm and food-loving Indian. That encounter was more than just love at first sight—it opened the doors to an entirely new culinary world. Through him and his family, I discovered traditional recipes, unique spices, and deeply rooted cooking techniques. These experiences transformed my approach to cooking and added a whole new dimension to my culinary creativity.
Today, we live in the U.S. and blend our cultures at every meal for our three children. As a busy mom of two daughters and a son, I know how precious time is, and cooking nourishing homemade meals is my way of showing love and creating meaningful moments around the table.
My Mission: Nourish the Body and Soul
At Cooked Savor, my mission is simple:
To bring families together through meals that are wholesome, flavorful, and inspired by the world.
I believe meals should be:
- Simple and easy to prepare
- Healthy and nourishing
- Kid- and family-friendly
- A celebration of global flavors
Our Dream
I dream of kitchens that are more than just places to cook—they are spaces filled with warmth, discovery, and togetherness. To me, the kitchen is the heart of every home, where laughter is shared, traditions are passed down, and new memories are made.
At Cooked Savor, my goal is to inspire you to create meals that are not only homemade and healthy, but also carry meaning. Every dish has a story, every flavor has a memory, and every shared meal has the power to bring people closer. Because food isn’t just about taste—it’s about connection, love, and the moments that stay with us long after the meal is done.
