About Dajma

Meet Chef Dajma

Bonjour and welcome! I’m Chef Dajma, a passionate homegrown cook with a heart rooted in the flavors of Canada, Newfoundland, and French-Canadian tradition. From cozy kitchen tables in the Maritimes to rustic French-Canadian cabins, my cooking is a celebration of the comfort, culture, and stories that define Canadian heritage.

Food has always been my way of connecting—whether it’s a batch of warm molasses baked beans shared with family, or a slice of sugar pie that brings back memories of my grandmother’s Sunday table in Quebec.

Through this website, I bring you a collection of authentic and nostalgic Canadian recipes, from buttery Newfoundland snowballs to rich Tourtière and simple Acadian staples. I focus on dishes that are not only rooted in tradition, but easy to make and perfect for today’s home kitchens.

Whether you’re rediscovering old favourites or exploring classic Canadian flavors for the first time, I’m here to guide you with step-by-step instructions, real ingredients, and personal tips drawn from my years in the kitchen.

This isn’t just a recipe site—it’s a place to celebrate Canadian food culture, preserve our culinary history, and pass on the flavors that shaped us.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you find something delicious to cook and share.
Let’s keep our food stories alive—one recipe at a time.
