Hi, I’m Samiya El Khoury – Welcome to My Kitchen!
Born in Morocco and now living in the U.S., I’m a passionate home cook, recipe creator, and flavor explorer. Taste Bliss Recipes is my space to share the food I love—rooted in tradition, inspired by culture, and made to bring people together.

1. My Story

  • Where I’m From: Marrakesh, Morocco
  • Where I Live Now: San Diego, California
  • How It Started: My love for cooking began in my grandmother’s kitchen, where I learned to mix spices by hand and cook with feeling—not just measurements.
  • How It Grew: After moving to the U.S., I started blending Moroccan flavors with local and global ingredients. This opened up a whole new world of creativity and joy in the kitchen.
