About Camilla Xenia Andersson

Welcome to my kitchen! I’m Camilla Xenia Andersson, born on June 11, 1965, and now happily calling Sioux Falls, South Dakota my home. My culinary story began far from the Midwest, but the warmth of home-cooked meals has always been a part of my soul. From the first time I cracked an egg on my own, I knew food would shape my life—not just what I put on the table, but how I connected with people, cultures, and creativity.

My Culinary Journey

I was raised in a Swedish-American household, where Sunday dinners were sacred and butter was practically a love language. Cooking became my personal form of expression, a way to honor my heritage and explore new frontiers. I earned my culinary stripes in bustling kitchens and quiet farmhouses alike, picking up techniques, stories, and scars along the way.

Throughout my 30+ years in the culinary world, I’ve worked with everyone from local farmers to seasoned chefs, and I’ve learned that good food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about care, patience, and heart. I’m here to share the recipes that have filled my home with laughter and to help you feel just as confident stirring a sauce as serving a feast.

What I Offer

Whether you’re a curious home cook, a die-hard foodie, a professional chef looking for inspiration, or someone who loves to test and refine recipes, there’s something here for you. My kitchen is a lab, a playground, and sometimes a stage for happy accidents that turn into crowd favorites. I believe that every recipe should be approachable, thoroughly tested, and a little bit magical.

You’ll find everything from rustic Swedish comfort foods to bold, modern takes on global flavors. I don’t shy away from technique but I never forget the joy. Because to me, cooking isn’t just about the results—it’s about the experience.
