In my kitchen everything is made from scratch with wholesome ingredients. I develop savory recipes that are both nutritious and appealing as well as decadent desserts that are not overly sweet. I enjoy focusing on meal prep ideas with lots of tips that make delicious eating healthy and easy. And I should mention that I love Air Fryer recipes for quick and simple dinners!”

I am Polish born and bred but now live in Canada via the USA. Polish cuisine has a lot to offer and does not sacrifice taste. In Poland our family shopped local markets daily for fresh groceries. With my family we cooked a wide variety of scrumptious soups to meat dishes and desserts. At that time in Poland many families did not eat out a lot but rather preferred to enjoy the goodness of home.

In 1999 I moved to Chicago and lived there for 14 years which is where I met and married my husband. I graduated in 2012 from Northeastern Illinois University with a Bachelor’s Degree in General Business Administration. We had 2 sons while in Chicago. In 2013 I moved with my husband and sons to my third country, Canada, where I now reside just outside of Toronto.

Ilona’s Passion was launched in 2013 after I decided I wanted to share my passion for food, parties and entertaining by showcasing all my creative ideas, recipes and photography. For as long as I can remember I’ve always loved cooking and sharing my mouth-watering recipes and party ideas with my community. I’m so delighted that this blog has grown to a huge community and this brings me so much happiness.
