I’m Bry, the food writer and recipe developer behind Cooking with Bry. I grew up in Western Sydney, where food was never just food. It was Aussie barbecues in the backyard, Middle Eastern bakeries down the road, and Mediterranean kitchens that treated every meal like an occasion. That upbringing shaped my palate in ways I’m still discovering.

I spent seven years living in the UK, across London and Glasgow, eating my way through some seriously good (and seriously cold) years. After that came Adelaide – markets, produce, wine – which ruined me in the best possible way. Now I’m based in Brisbane, which has its own incredible food scene and the added bonus of actually having sunshine.

All of that – Western Sydney, the UK, Adelaide, Brisbane, and everywhere in between – feeds into what I cook and how I write about it. My recipes pull from classic Aussie, British, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean traditions, the food that feels like home to me. Honest, unfussy, and built around flavours I actually crave.
