Hi, I’m Imane!
Welcome to Recipes Koukie! I’m Imane Elhariri, and this is my little corner of the internet where I share simple, comforting recipes made for real life.
Cooking isn’t my professional career — during the day, I work as a Transit Manager. But outside of work, the kitchen has always been a place where I can slow down, be creative, and enjoy time with the people I love.
How My Love for Cooking Started
My journey with cooking started simply: preparing meals for my family.
Like many home cooks, I wasn’t trying to create perfect restaurant-style dishes. I just wanted to make food that tasted good, brought everyone together, and didn’t require spending the entire day in the kitchen.
Little by little, I started experimenting with different recipes, adjusting ingredients, trying new combinations, and finding easier ways to prepare the dishes my family enjoyed most.
Some recipes became regular requests at home.
And that’s when cooking became more than just preparing a meal.
From Family Meals to Sharing Recipes
As I cooked more often, I started sharing some of my recipes and ideas with friends.
They would ask me how I made certain dishes, what ingredients I used, and whether I could send them the recipe.
Those simple conversations inspired me to start sharing my recipes with more people.
That’s what I love about food. A recipe doesn’t have to be complicated to create a great moment. Sometimes, the simplest meal is the one everyone remembers.

Cooking Around a Busy Life
Working full-time has also shaped the way I approach cooking.
I understand what it feels like to finish a busy day and still wonder, “What am I going to make for dinner?”
That’s why I’m especially drawn to recipes that fit into everyday schedules: meals with familiar ingredients, straightforward instructions, and flavors the whole family can enjoy.
For me, homemade cooking doesn’t need to be complicated to feel special.
