Hello! Welcome to dontmissmyplate.

Thank you for visiting the website! I'm Maxine, blogger, home cook, soon to be food entrepreneur, and lover of all things food and fusion cuisine (a style of cooking that combines ingredients and methods from different countries, regions, or cultures).

There is something for everyone, and recipes are designed to inspire you to try something new.
