Hey, I’m Karina!
Food and I have had a long love story. For years I chased the โhow to get skinnyโ dream and got lost in crash diets. But now Iโve found balance and a happy relationship with food. Here youโll find everything from low carb recipes that make you feel good to indulgent desserts for your next cheat day. Plus, plenty of easy dinners that take the stress out of cooking.
My Relationship with Food
Food is meant to be enjoyed. Some nights itโs a crisp salad, other nights itโs a gooey cookie. In between, I love sharing quick weeknight dinners and easy family meals that prove cooking isnโt just about eating, itโs about gathering, laughing, and making memories with the people you love.
Life as a Cancer Survivor
Iโm a cancer survivor, and that journey (read more about my cancer journey here) lit a new fire in me to celebrate life with gratitude, comfort, and plenty of good food. Every recipe is about gratitude, comfort, and connection. Life is too short not to enjoy good food.
From Diary to Weekly Meal Ideas
What began in 2014 as an Instagram food diary has grown into a community of millions. Now Cafe Delites is where youโll find weekly meal ideas, family favorites, and inspiration for every craving.
Let’s Cook Together
Cooking should be fun, simple, and maybe even a little sexy. I share low carb recipes when you want to feel light, easy family meals when you need everyone at the table, and something wickedly delicious for your next cheat day.
Welcome to my blog!
Dear Karina,
Thank you for this absolute banger of a website , completely lashed it out the park with it. Even though I scroll through every image until I get to the recipe, It is SO helpful to have a jump to recipe and print recipe button. Defo gonna try the nutella hot chocolate for sure! Beautiful pictures and amazing recipes! Good stuff good stuff!
May your nutella never spoil!
Kind regards,
A man with a sweet-tooth

Hello Karina, My heart is on fire I would love to increase my cooking skills with you, What can I say I am a hopeless romantic and had to tell you what you already know, you have stolen my heart I imagine me and countless others but boy what a strong feeling to have for someone I have not even met but wow love to meet you, I imagine you must get this a lot so I hope you are ok with yet another guys falling in love with you! OOOOO
Much love for your recipes – your site in on my bookmarks for easy access! Can’t thank you enough and keep up the great work!
I’m always excited to run across a new person I haven’t seen before in my continuous search for good food recipes, so hopefully I will see more now that you have my e-mail address.
THis is wonderful. I’ve been looking for something off offset “bland & basic” and your recipe does the job in spades. Merci a lot…
Dear Karina,
When I want something out of this world to eat, I often come here to you. Thank you for all the amazing recipes we enjoy all the time. I have never been less than wowed with any recipe and we love all the creamy mushroom cooking and the steaks, OMG!! Anyway, from a true fan, thank you so much for sharing all you have!!

After having a mild stroke TIA, I had to look after myself and in less than 3 months I’ve dropped my high cholesterol completely. I decided not to remain on these statins because of the side effects, so I have been looking at recipes that would be simple to do without the stuffs that’s unhealthy and fell on yours today. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I’ve bookmarked your site. And will get into the kitchen now. Thanks so much for sharing this site Karina.

I just made yet another of your incredible recipes! This was for the flatbread, and it was amazing! If you havenโt written a cookbook, you should – because you really are so talented! Our family favorite is your Cajun butter steak bites! Thanks so much!
