Welcome to RecipesLuna!
I’m Luna Henderson, the founder, recipe developer, and culinary voice behind RecipesLuna. Based in the heart of New York City, I started this blog not just to share my passion, but to offer reliable, meticulously tested, and globally-inspired recipes that bring authentic flavors into your everyday kitchen.
My Culinary Story & Expertise
My journey into food began in my family’s kitchen, but my professional focus has been on making complex flavors accessible to the home cook.
My deepest culinary memory—the moment I knew I had to share this passion—was the summer I spent in Florence. I was 16, and I vividly remember my Nonno teaching me how to make fresh pasta from scratch in his small, sun-drenched kitchen. The rhythm of kneading the dough and the incredible taste of that simple, fresh cacio e pepe wasn’t just a meal; it was a connection to tradition. That commitment to simple ingredients yielding remarkable flavor is the foundation of every recipe here.

10+ Years of Hands-On Experience: I have spent over a decade perfecting techniques, traveling to learn regional cooking methods, and working directly with ingredient sourcing across the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia.
-
Emphasis on Global Flavor Profiles: I specialize in merging traditional American comfort food with authentic techniques, focusing on flavor layering and ingredient quality.
-
The RecipesLuna Philosophy: Every recipe published here is developed and tested by me, often over multiple iterations, to ensure it is easy-to-follow, reliable, and uses standard supermarket ingredients without sacrificing taste or integrity.
RecipesLuna was born out of the belief that anyone can master a remarkable dish with the right instructions. My motivation is to give you the confidence to turn simple ingredients into culinary memories—just like that memory with Nonno.
