About Me:

Meet Salima Barel

I'm Salima, and if there's flour on the counter and something sweet in the oven, I'm in my happy place. I've been sharing my kitchen adventures here at Cosi Recipes (formerly as just "Salima B.") for years. My love for baking comes from a desire to nurture—whether it's a stack of fluffy pancakes for a slow Sunday morning or a celebration cake for a milestone.

My Culinary Philosophy

My Background & Expertise

I'm a self-taught baker who learned by doing (and sometimes failing!). I've turned my home kitchen into a test lab, tweaking ratios of sugar and butter until they're just right. My goal is to be your baking best friend, guiding you through the tricky parts so you can enjoy the sweet rewards.
