About
A Chef’s Daughter is Ivete Tecedor’s cooking blog. If you’re a knitter, you may already know Ivete from her long-time knitting blog, Knotology, and her knitting patterns.
Random stuff about Ivete:
- Puppy-mom to Arnold, my miniature dachshund (you’ll be seeing him around these parts for sure!)
- My Dad is a professional chef. He’s been doing Technical cooking for my whole life, but he used to own a restaurant and taught in a culinary school. I grew up eating better at home than any of my friends did, and all my HS friends fondly recall the tasty dinners they had at my house (honest!).
- Food blogging is apparently genetic, as my Dad blogs here for his employer. And yes, that’s him in the header!
And, since this is a cooking blog after all:
Favorite Foods:
- Potatoes, preferably fried
- Potato chips (yes, that’s different. Whether it’s a “food” is still up for discussion.)
- Mushrooms
- Bread
- Lentil soup
- My Dad’s home cooking
- Falafel
Foods you’ll never see featured on this blog:
- Licorice
- Ethiopian food (it’s the texture, I can’t do it)

This site wouldn’t be possible without the wonderful resources I’ve found online over the years. Here are a few of my favorites:
- The Thesis theme from DIYThemes, on which this whole site (and Chiagu.com!) is built
- WordPress, the best blogging software out there
- Colourlovers, a great resource for color schemes and design. This pattern inspired the blog’s colors!
