My name is Dayna. I have a passion for good food, pure ingredients & healthy living.
Today’s lifestyle is busy. Life is going faster & faster, with no signs of slowing down. Add in the current environment, we need to find ways to unwind, to take care of ourselves and our loved ones.
It’s not always easy to take the time to pay attention to our ingredients & home cook meals that are healthy and delicious, whether for yourself or your loved ones. I hope to help change that.
My philosophy is centred around simple, sophisticated and seasonal dishes. I have four principles for anyone looking to cook well:
- Seasonal ingredients
- Simple technique
- Fresh herbs & spices
- Lots of love
With these, I believe that anyone can cook incredible meals without spending hours in the kitchen, eating boring “diet foods”, or worrying about calories.
These recipes are designed to teach you to learn food, so you can cook beautiful meals without having to rely on a recipe.
My style is simple and classic with contemporary spin. I love taking traditional recipes and updating them for today. I’m inspired by different cultures and fresh, seasonal ingredients. And love. A lot of love.
Whether you’re cooking for your family, entertaining friends at home, managing a high-powered career, or anything in between, GoCookThis.com is dedicated to bringing you easy & healthy recipes for modern living.
More than that, I hope to inspire you to cook at home more often, find pleasure in food and enjoy the benefits of Earth’s abundant harvest.

The most indispensable ingredient in all good home cooking: love for those you are cooking for.
