Welcome to
DELISH Soups & Desserts
The Home of Easy & Nutritious Soup Recipes
Hi, THANKS for stopping by my blog. I’ll be sharing my easy and nutritious soup recipes & dessert ideas with you. I love experimenting with a fusion of different cuisines, and creating recipes with a rich and robust flavour. Most of the soup & stew recipes that I create are inspired by Mediterranean, Asian & South Asian cuisine, and can be customized to suit a vegetarian or vegan diet. Most of my dessert recipes focus on creamy flans, soft puddings, moist cakes and chewy cookies.
More On the Creator
I’m 59 years young, single, a first generation Greek girl, a Gen X’er, (and proud of it) born in Winnipeg Manitoba. I now live in beautiful Vancouver, in a condo with my 88 year old dad, who I take care of. The condo has a nice, big kitchen where I can experiment making easy and nutritious soup recipes, or bake up a storm.
I like to cook, to bake and to blog about those experiences. If I’m not cooking, baking or blogging, then I’m working on home improvements, taking care of my 100 plants, or creating art. I’m a self-taught artist and currently working on an artist website. To see some of my artwork now, click on the link below…

In the past, I worked as a freelance makeup and hair artist for 30 years. But now I’m retired and I choose to blog about the beauty industry instead. My beauty blog is called Luxe Beauty Blog.

My Backstory
I am not a trained chef, but I learned how to cook when I watched my Mother and Grandmother work their magic in the kitchen. They made some incredible meals! My mother learned from her mother, and I learned from mine. Our Greek traditions and recipes were passed down from one generation to the next. My mother was such an amazing cook whose reputation in the kitchen was legendary!! After she passed away, I started to look after my dad, cleaning and cooking for him, among other things. When I cook for him, and make my mother’s signature dishes, it makes him happy, and keeps her memory alive.
Why Focus on Soups & Desserts?
The “why” behind the easy and nutritious soup recipes, and creamy desserts is simple…I’m a mouth cancer survivor. Ten years ago, I had surgery to remove a tumour in my cheek, followed by radiation treatment. The aftermath of the treatment left me unable to open my mouth very much. Soups or foods with a smooth or creamy texture are the easiest foods for me to eat.
After my treatment, I felt doomed to a life of boring soup. Eventually I realized that soup isn’t boring. I also realized that most of my nutritional needs can be met in one bowl! So I set out to create a few easy and nutritious soup recipes. After some trial and error, I came up with a few favourites and soon after,, I decided to share my journey into the wonderful world of soups. And that is the story of how and why DELISH Soups & Desserts was born.
