Hi! I’m Yarin, a home baker and cook.

My culinary journey began as a teenager, inspired by my mom, an incredible cook. She taught me the basics, and from there, I put my own spin on things. My style is mostly Mediterranean-inspired, but I love experimenting with different flavors and cuisines.

In recent years, videography has become a big part of my life, so I decided to combine my love for cooking with my passion for creating content. I'm excited to share my journey of making delicious food with you!

Creamy Cacio e Pepe

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt, then add the bucatini. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 to 10 minutes.

While the pasta cooks, toast the black pepper in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the olive oil and capers to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Next, add 1/4 cup of water and the partially cooked bucatini to the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the water has thickened slightly.

Reduce the heat to low. Add the grated cheese and 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water to the skillet. Stir until the cheese has melted and the pasta is well-coated and cooked to your liking.

Top the pasta with additional freshly ground black pepper and a sprinkle of extra grated Pecorino Romano cheese before serving.
