Pan Colander - short introduction

Hi there, food lovers! I'm Mariusz, balancing my life as an architectural drafter, amateur photographer and a devoted food blogger. I'm the creator and recipe developer behind PanColander.com. Welcome to my blog, a lively place where I share a variety of recipes that have spiced up my life. Growing up in Poland, my childhood was filled with the rich, home-cooked meals my mom lovingly prepared. These traditional Polish dishes, steeped in history and taste, form the foundation of my cooking.

But that's not the whole story. Living in the U.S. for over two decades has opened my eyes to a world of flavors. I've immersed myself in the exciting tastes of Mexican, Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, and Italian cuisines. My recipes are a unique mix of my Polish heritage and the global flavors I've come to love.

Outside of drafting and cooking, you'll often find me in nature, exploring forests or nurturing our family garden. These peaceful moments not only refresh me but also spark creativity in my kitchen. My blog is more than a recipe hub; it's a place to weave stories, stir up memories, and blend cultures through food.

Oh, you're a culinary maestro or just someone who can't resist a good meal? Perfect! Grab a spoon, or better yet, a spatula, and dive into this gastronomic escapade with me. We'll navigate through the highs and lows of cooking (and occasionally set off the smoke alarm – it's all part of the process). Get ready for a deliciously chaotic journey where the only rule is: there are no rules (except maybe don't burn the kitchen down).

Let's turn up the heat and get this party started!
