About me

Welcome to My Kitchen

Hi, I’m Maya Lawson—a chef in my mid-30s with a passion for creating food that feels comforting, approachable, and inspiring. Yumnexio is my creative culinary home where I share flavorful, accessible recipes built for real kitchens and real lives.

My Cooking Philosophy

At Yumnexio, I believe that great food should be:

  • Comforting without being complicated

  • Built on solid fundamentals with room for creativity

  • Packed with flavor using simple techniques

  • Approachable for cooks of every skill level

Good food brings people together—and every recipe here is designed with that in mind.

My Personal Journey

My love for cooking began in childhood, surrounded by family meals, shared recipes, and the warmth of a busy kitchen. Over time, that passion grew into formal practice, recipe development, and years of exploration across cuisines and techniques. Yumnexio was born from a desire to share everything I’ve learned with home cooks seeking reliability and inspiration.
