Welcome to SpiceCookRecipes.com : Where Passion Meets the Plate

Welcome to my kitchen and my world of flavors! I am a passionate chef who believes that cooking is much more than preparing food , it is an art filled with imagination, tradition, and love. Through my recipes, I aim to share not only delicious meals but also the stories and connections that food creates among us all.

My Journey of LILLIAN Recipes

Hello there, I’m LILLIAN Holloway, a 38-year-old Brit now proudly calling Dubai home. My journey into the culinary world wasn’t scripted from the start—it was blended, shaken, and stirred over years of curiosity, trial, and an ever-growing passion for clean, nourishing food.

Growing up in a cozy village near Bath, my early days were filled with the comforting smells of Sunday roasts and my mum’s legendary apple crumble. But it wasn’t until my late twenties, after a life pivot from a high-stress corporate job, that I realized my heart belonged in the kitchen—or more accurately, at the blender.

Dubai has been an incredible canvas for my food journey. The vibrant expat community and access to fresh, global ingredients have pushed me to explore and refine my passion: creating delicious, protein-packed smoothies and gluten-free recipes that fuel the body and satisfy the soul. I started small, experimenting with combinations that made my gym buddies raise their brows in skepticism until they tasted the results.

I believe food should be joyful and accessible, especially when it comes to clean eating. I love showing home cooks that you don’t need a pantry full of obscure ingredients to whip up something nutritious and exciting. Whether it’s a cacao-chia smoothie that tastes like dessert, or a hearty, gluten-free sweet potato lasagna, I want people to feel empowered, not intimidated.

My kitchen has seen its fair share of disasters too—like the infamous beetroot-banana experiment that stained my countertops and offended everyone who took a sip. But every miss has taught me something new, and that’s the beauty of cooking: it’s alive, forgiving, and always evolving.

Now, I share my recipes and stories not to preach, but to connect. To remind fellow home cooks that with a bit of creativity and a lot of heart, healthy eating can be the tastiest adventure. So grab your blender, your favorite nut butter, and let’s make something amazing together.

My Philosophy

Food is a universal language — one that speaks through aroma, texture, and memory. It bridges generations, crosses cultures, and turns ordinary moments into lasting memories. At SpiceCookRecipes.com , I honor this bond by sharing dishes that nourish the body and warm the heart.

My cooking philosophy is rooted in four simple but meaningful values:

1. Feel-Good Food
   Meals should energize and nourish, making you feel great inside and out.
2. Balance Over Perfection
   It’s not about being perfect—it’s about making thoughtful, healthy choices more often.
3. Simplicity Wins
   Clean eating doesn’t have to be complicated. Keep it simple and flavorful.
4. Listen to Your Body
   Your body knows best—feed it with care and intuition.
5. Celebrate Small Wins
   Every smoothie, every meal, every kitchen victory matters.
6. Joyful Living
   Cooking should bring joy, not stress. Have fun, experiment, and enjoy the ride.
