Welcome to My Kitchen

Welcome to my tasty universe, a place where passion for gastronomy is the driving force behind new discoveries.

My name is Horacy Nucci Jr. and I’m passionate about everything related to gastronomy.

I’ve always been very curious and wanted to do and learn many things in my life, from the time I was single and then married, together with my wonderful wife.

I learned to fly planes, to scuba dive, I traveled a lot around Brazil and the world, I worked (and still work) in information technology for more years than I care to remember, I did The Way of St. James pilgrimage, but my passion for food has always been there, permeating every moment of my life.

Cooking has always been present in my life, from the time I spent with my mother in the kitchen; also when I was part of a scout group, where I even learned how to build a stove out of wood and clay; in my single days, living away from home, when food was more complicated, I was always learning about ingredients and ways of preparing them.

I was lucky enough to marry a beautiful cook and we did, and still do, many things together, learning and developing techniques and creating flavors. But best of all were the moments we spent together in this wonderful universe.
Today our beloved son loves sharing moments together in our kitchen.

One day, I decided to study gastronomy and it was one of the best decisions of my life.
My childhood passion turned into a vibrant hobby.
After a professional career in information technology, the call of the senses was stronger, leading me to a tasty transition into the world of gastronomy.

With a background full of experiences alongside wonderful Brazilian and international chefs, my academic degree in gastronomy is just the beginning of this exciting journey.

On my blog, fun is present in every recipe and technique shared.

Here, visitors will find a diversity of flavors from around the world, accompanied by tips and tricks that will turn any enthusiast into a maestro in the kitchen.
The specialty of this space is its breadth; we don’t restrict ourselves to just one aspect of gastronomy.
Whether you’re a lover of exquisite desserts, an explorer of exotic dishes or a beginner looking for guidance, this is your point of reference.

What sets this place apart is its commitment to teaching.

Not only will we unveil the secrets behind great dishes, but we will also explain the use of utensils and fundamental techniques for those who are taking the first steps on their culinary journey.
It’s an invitation to learn how to cook, step by step, with dedication and care.

With deep roots in the rich Brazilian, Spanish and Italian heritage, I cook with the soul of my ancestors, firmly believing that every dish that comes out of our kitchen is a celebration of life and an act of love that nourishes both body and spirit.

The aim of this blog is to educate, entertain, teach and inspire.
More than that, we aspire to build a community where the love of gastronomy unites and elevates us, transforming each reader into an active member of this magnificent cultural feast.

So get ready to embark on an epic journey of taste, where food is more than just nutrition – it’s a bridge to human connections, shared experiences and unforgettable moments.

Come cook, learn and enjoy with us.
