Yani Recipes

Maria Jones, Founder & Chef

I’m Chef Maria Jones, with 15 years of culinary expertise. At Yani Recipes, we help home cooks master exceptional meat recipes, fresh seafood recipes, and innovative vegan recipes alongside satisfying vegetarian recipes.

My Story

My passion began at age 12 in my Lebanese grandmother’s kitchen, where I mastered her spiced lamb recipes. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America and refining seafood recipes in professional kitchens, I launched a catering business serving 500+ events.
When my daughter went vegan and my husband remained devoted to meat recipes, I pioneered a system pairing innovative vegan recipes with hearty meat dishes. Today, I’m proving that satisfying vegetarian recipes and fresh seafood recipes can bring diverse families together.
Try my free recipes where family flavors unite!
