About Elena Vasquez

Home cooking from a coastal Mediterranean point of view.

Elena writes Harbor & Herb Kitchen for cooks who want dinner to feel fresh without becoming a project. Her recipes lean on herbs, citrus, olive oil, fish, pasta, and simple sauces that make weeknights brighter.

She tests recipes in a regular home kitchen, with practical timing, accessible ingredients, and notes for adjusting brightness at the table.
