My name is Maya Oryan and I’m a Food Stylist.
I’m passionate about food, I love cooking, eating and talking about food.
Being the daughter of a chef, and working as a food stylist side by side with many executive chefs, I insanely savored good food and learnt how to make it.
The initial idea of sharing my recipes started 2 years ago as a cooking book. The more recipes I compiled, the more I felt impatient to publish it. The problem is, my compilation is extending so much that I can’t find closure to my book.
And then it hit me! Why don’t I start my own blog and share the hundreds of recipes that I have? Then, based on the readers’ feedback, I will make a selection to create this great book I’ve been obsessing about for so long.
I’m sure many of these recipes are too good for us to wait any longer, so have a seat at my table!
I love all your mealss Mayaaa !! And I love You <3
I love you more. When are you coming to bake a cake together?
Congratulations for the blog!! We’ll be waiting for more recipes especially your famous delicious Turkey

I hadn’t planned anything for dinner because I had a busy day so I decided to try a quick recipe of Maya. It was a tasty dinner and the leftovers were fantastic for breakfast the next day – I love recipes like that!
Thank you Sal. I feel flattered!

Hi, and thanks for liking my new blog. I am looking forward to having a good look around yours. And I’m not sure what a food stylist actually does, but it already sounds like the perfect job to me!
After a quick look through your blog, I can guarantee that I’ll be back to discover many of your recipes . . . like that delicious banoffee dessert.
It’s a big hit if you have a sweet tooth, but forget about the calories:)))
Well, you sure did grab my attention with the headline “Vanilla Panna Cotta with Hershey’s Caramel Syrup”. And just before I have lunch. So now I’m off to feast then return to stroll through your blog. Thanks for strolling through mine. Harold
It was a pleasure! Maya
