About Us

Hello, I’m Amelia, and welcome to The Cozy Cuppa a space born from the blend of cultures, memories, and meals that shaped me.
I’m the daughter of an Arab father and an American mother, and I carry both worlds in my heart their flavors, stories, and spirit.

Growing up, my kitchen was a bridge between two homes: the aromatic spices of my father’s traditions and the comforting classics of my mother’s upbringing. I learned early on that food is more than fuel it’s memory, identity, and connection.

At The Cozy Cuppa (thecozycuppa.com), I bring together recipes and stories from my blended heritage. You’ll find dishes inspired by Arab kitchens and American comfort foods with unexpected twists and heartfelt storytelling all written in a warm, down to earth style.

As the Founder, I’m joined by an inspiring team who share the same love for comfort, creativity, and community:

  • Olivia Soltren, our Senior Recipe Developer, brings her passion for Mediterranean flavors and comforting simplicity to every dish she creates.
  • Ava Lirendell, also a Senior Recipe Developer, combines her culinary science background with an artistic touch, crafting recipes that are both innovative and approachable.
  • Harper Vionrae, our Social Media and Community Manager, gives life to our stories online connecting with readers and celebrating the people and cultures behind every meal.

Together, we create a cozy space where food meets heart one recipe, one story, and one shared cup at a time.

Thank you for stopping by. Pour yourself a cuppa, and join us on this delicious journey of comfort, culture, and connection.

Warmly,
Amelia
Founder, The Cozy Cuppa
