Hi, I’m Mark — the cook, food enthusiast, and voice behind DishyWishy.
This blog is where my love for simple, bold, and satisfying food meets a real-life kitchen. Whether you’re here for comfort meals, weeknight dinners, or just some new inspiration, I’m glad you found your way in. DishyWishy is all about food that’s doable, flavorful, and made with heart — no fuss, no filters.
My Family
I’m a husband and a dad to two wonderfully energetic kids who keep me on my toes — and constantly snack-testing everything I make. My wife is my honest food critic, photography assistant, and the reason I keep the kitchen (mostly) clean.
Our house runs on laughter, leftovers, and lots of late-night recipe testing.
My Story
I grew up in a home where meals were the main event — even if they were just grilled cheese and soup. My dad grilled everything with pride, and my mom could turn pantry staples into something unforgettable. That’s where I learned that food doesn’t need to be fancy to be memorable.
As I got older, cooking became my creative outlet. It’s where I unwind, experiment, and feed the people I love. And eventually, I decided to start sharing those recipes with the world.
My Background
I’m not a trained chef — I’m a self-taught cook with a background in graphic design and digital media. I’ve worked in content creation, branding, and digital marketing, which helped me turn a side hobby into DishyWishy.
- Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communication
- 10+ years in digital content and brand design
- Lifelong love of food, flavor, and getting things just right
I bring that blend of design and cooking into everything I post — making food that’s as satisfying to look at as it is to eat.
Why I Started This Blog
DishyWishy started with one simple goal: to make cooking more approachable and fun. I wanted a space where I could share real meals from a real kitchen — the kind you can pull off even on a busy Tuesday night.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about food that feels good — meals that bring people together, recipes that work, and stories that stick with you.
