Hey everyone! My name is Danielle DeVargas and I started The Six Figure Dish in 2020 but I’ve been cooking and experimenting in the comfort of my own kitchen for way too long! Welcome to a little piece of my world where I share comforting family recipes.
Family
I am the Mom of 3 beautiful kids who help with taste testing the recipes I make and boy are they picky! So when they fall in love with one of my dishes, I know the recipe is a winner.
Background
Most of the meals I make are inspired by my background and my family’s traditional recipes. My parents are Brazilian and I learned to cook many traditional Latin American dishes like these Brazilian Chocolate Truffles (Brigadeiro) with my mother who is a great cook.
I believe that my cooking has evolved with time to reflect the many experiences and dishes I’ve tasted in different Latin American countries. Of course, my all time favorite is Brazilian cuisine because I was raised on it. There is something about a plate of feijoada, rice and meat or some juicy picanha on the BBQ grill that I will always hold near and dear to my heart. Homemade Brazilian cuisine is a taste of home for me. But, I do love and appreciate what each culture has to offer and that is the reason why I love making a little bit of everything.
My Love For Appliances
I’m also a girl who is in love with her kitchen appliances. You will see that many of my recipes were made in the instant pot, crockpot or air fryer. For busy moms like myself, these appliances are a life saver on weeknights. I have a great variation of sweet and savory meals made in all of these kitchen appliances that I believe you will enjoy. I’ve definitely mastered making cheesecake in my Instant Pot, so be sure to check some of those recipes.
Enjoy My Recipes
So there you have it! Of course there’s so much more to say but I don’t have all day and neither do you! So take a look around at my recipe collection. If you do try one of my recipes, be sure to let me know how you and your family liked it.
