WELCOME TO NESSY RECIPES
The Heart Behind the Comfort
I’m Nessy Chiamo a homegrown chef, comfort food enthusiast, and flavor storyteller. I grew up in a small New York kitchen where food was more than something to eat it was how we celebrated, healed, connected, and loved. My journey didn’t begin in a culinary school it began at home, watching my mother turn simple ingredients into moments that felt warm, safe, and unforgettable.
Today, I bring that same heart into everything I cook. With every crispy bite, creamy spoonful, and slow-simmered sauce, my mission is to create recipes that bring comfort to your table and joy to your everyday life.
Here at Nessy Recipes, I’m all about turning tough days into cozy moments. You’ll find simple, flavor-packed dishes that feel like a warm hug on a plate crispy on the edges, creamy at the center, and always made with love.
When life feels heavy, make something warm, crispy, and comforting.
How It All Started
THE KITCHEN THAT RAISED ME
I grew up in a tiny New York apartment where the kitchen was the warm, busy heart of our home. It’s where my mother worked her magic with her well-worn skillet, turning simple ingredients into meals that brought us together moments that shaped me more than I ever realized.
I wasn’t trained in a culinary school. I was raised by Sunday dinners, homemade casseroles, and the quiet lessons learned watching my mother cook with love and intuition.
Over the years, I discovered that food has a beautiful ability to soften even the hardest days a crispy vegetable, a creamy sauce, a slow-roasted dish reminding me that simple flavors can reconnect us to ourselves. That’s where my journey as a homegrown chef began: in the hum of my family’s kitchen, with a craving to recreate that same warmth for others.

What I Believe Now
Comfort Over Perfection
Cooking from the soul isn’t always perfect. I’ve burned pans, over-seasoned dishes, undercooked vegetables, and ruined dinners I hoped would be great. But those mistakes taught me something important: comfort food doesn’t need to be flawless it needs to feel like care in a bite.
Today, my approach is simple:
CRISPY, CREAMY, COZY.
I cook with intention, using everyday ingredients to create meals that feel warm, familiar, and full of flavor. Through Nessy Recipes, my goal is to help you rediscover the joy of home cooking the kind that fills your kitchen with warmth, your table with love, and your heart with comfort.
