**Welcome to Simply Dushi!** Hi there, and thanks for stopping by! I’m Gabriella, the heart and hands behind Simply Dushi. "Dushi" is a word from Papiamento, the beautiful language spoken in the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire. It means "sweet," "delicious," or even "beloved," perfectly capturing the essence of the joy and comfort that food brings to our lives. Here at Simply Dushi, I share recipes inspired by my love for Caribbean flavors, where every bite tells a story of warmth, tradition, and love. But my journey doesn’t stop there—I’m also passionate about exploring cuisines from around the world. From hearty Italian pasta to Asian-inspired sweets, I believe that every dish has its own kind of “dushi” magic. As someone who personally struggles with gluten intolerance, I know how challenging it can be to find recipes that are both delicious and gluten-free. That’s why you’ll also find plenty of gluten-free recipes here—designed to make life easier and tastier for anyone navigating similar challenges. Whether you're here to learn, try something new, or simply be inspired, I hope you’ll find something here that speaks to your heart (and taste buds!). Let’s celebrate the joy of cooking, one delicious recipe at a time.
