Hi! I’m Florence.

— the heart (and hungry hands) behind HomelyCrust.

I’m a home cook with a deep love for simple, soul-warming recipes that bring people together. Raised in a household where the kitchen was always alive with spices, stories, and second helpings, I learned early on that food isn’t just nourishment — it’s connection, comfort, and joy.

Here at HomelyCrust, I share recipes that celebrate that feeling: from golden buttermilk pancakes on a lazy Sunday to one-pot dinners that save your weeknight sanity. My cooking style is rooted in homely flavors, with occasional nods to my Indian heritage and a soft spot for fresh, seasonal ingredients.

When I’m not stirring something on the stove, you’ll find me hunting down handwritten recipe cards, sipping tea by the window, or quietly baking way too many loaves of banana bread.

Welcome to my kitchen. I hope you stay a while — and maybe leave with a little inspiration (and something warm on your plate).
