About me
Hi, I'm Marianna.
I live in a small apartment in the middle of bustling Milan with Marina, my beautiful cat and kitchen critic.
This blog is my little corner of calm: a place where I share simple, comforting recipes that celebrate flavor, memory, and the joy of cooking at home.
When I’m not experimenting with new flavors, you’ll likely find me hiking mountain trails or getting lost in the pages of a good novel.
The Story of Ikogo
For years, I lived in a world of balance sheets, and stock shares—walking a path shaped more by fear than by passion. I kept chasing goals that didn’t feel like mine, always wondering if I was enough.
Then, something shifted. I paused. I listened. And for the first time, I chose me.
That’s when Ikogo came to life—a sweet little sanctuary where sugar and flour meet joy. Here, baking isn’t just about recipes; it’s about slowing down, getting your hands messy, and letting the oven work its magic. It’s a kind of therapy, one spoonful at a time.
I hope this space feels like a comforting place for you too—warm, welcoming, and full of butter-scented possibilities.
From the crisp embrace of a biscotto dunked in morning coffee to the sun-drenched simplicity of a lemon-scented crostata, let yourself be guided: there’s always a sweet story ready to rise in your oven
