If you’re a foodie with a sweet tooth looking for new bloggers to follow, Joyce Mrad will become your next obsession. She’s the mastermind behind some of the most picture-perfect sweet treats that you’ll ever come across, and they taste as delicious as they look.
Mrad is a cook and a food stylist based in Dubai and she specializes in making “beautiful food that puts a smile on your face.” She attracted over 150,000 followers since starting to share her baking skills on Instagram, and she mostly focuses on healthy recipes, keeping her desserts vegan, gluten, dairy, and sugar-free.
Mrad was impressed by her mother’s and grandmother’s baking skills in her youth, but cooking wasn’t really her thing for a long time. She fell in love with it later in life and used it as a creative outlet that helped her connect with many people around the world.
“I count the hours to the weekend. Having a full-time job means that those are the only days I can experiment in the kitchen. After spending the whole week on a 9 to 6:30 schedule, baking feels therapeutic,” she wrote on Instagram.
Recreating Mrad’s recipes may seem like a mission impossible, but nothing’s stopping you from trying. She doesn’t shy away from sharing her secrets with the rest of the world and each photo on her Instagram page @joyfulhomecooking is accompanied by a recipe, listing all the ingredients that you’ll need to recreate it.
