A Little About My Story

Hello, I’m Anna Ottman, the creator of BiteMakes.com.
My journey with cooking, home hacks, and the DIY world began when I was very young, in my grandmother’s kitchen. She taught me that cooking wasn’t just about following recipes — it was an act of love, creativity, and resourcefulness. With so little, she always found a way to transform simple ingredients into dishes that made us smile.

That spirit of “creating with what you have” stayed with me and became a life philosophy. Today, I want to share it with you: simple recipes, practical hacks, and DIY projects that make life easier, richer, and more creative.

The Kitchen as a Life Laboratory

For me, the kitchen isn’t just a place to prepare meals. It’s a laboratory of experiments, a workshop of memories, and often, a safe haven.
I’ve spent hours testing combinations, discovering shortcuts, and creating healthier versions of traditional recipes. And yes — I’ve made mistakes, many of them! But each failed attempt taught me something new that I can now share with you.

Here, you won’t find magazine-like perfection, but real life: quick solutions for busy days, creative ways to use forgotten pantry ingredients, and home projects that make your space cozier.

My Passion for DIY

Beyond cooking, I’ve always had a deep curiosity for creating with my own hands. From simple crafts to home hacks that help organize the kitchen or care for the house naturally, I’ve discovered that DIY is not only budget-friendly but also therapeutic.
I like to think that every small project is a way to add a personal, unique touch to everyday life.

That’s why on BiteMakes I don’t just share recipes — I also share practical ideas: from preserving fresh herbs at home to making natural cleaners, and even little inventions that make daily life easier.

My Mission with BiteMakes

My goal is simple: to help you discover that cooking and creating doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.
I want you to find something here that inspires you to try — whether it’s a small hack, a quick recipe, or an easy DIY project.

I believe in a lifestyle where simplicity is powerful, where creativity is within everyone’s reach, and where there’s always something new to learn.

A Space for Sharing

More than just a blog, I want BiteMakes to be a community.
A place where we can share ideas, learn from one another, and celebrate the small victories of everyday life: that recipe that turned out perfectly, that project that worked, that hack that saved you time.

So feel free to comment, write, and participate — because this space is yours too.

Thank You for Being Here

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for taking the time to get to know me.
I hope you enjoy BiteMakes.com as much as I enjoy creating it.
And remember: every recipe, every hack, and every project I share is meant to inspire you to create and savor life in a simpler, happier way.

With love,
Anna Ottman
