Welcome. I’m Tracey Ceurvels, Founder & Editor of The NYC Kitchen.

At The NYC Kitchen, food, cooking, and dining are the way I explore the world. Rooted in New York City and inspired by global traditions, this is where flavor meets culture, creativity, and curiosity.

Wherever I travel — across the city or across the globe — I’m drawn to the culinary landscape: Michelin-starred restaurants and quiet home kitchens, spice shops and bustling markets, chefs’ innovations and local dishes that tell a story. These experiences shape the recipes I create, the ingredients I seek out, and the way I think about cooking and home.

My work has appeared in publications such as The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and Time Out, covering the intersections of flavor, travel, design, and culture.

I created The NYC Kitchen as a place to share what I discover: recipes, ingredients, hidden shops, beautiful objects for the table, and the sensory moments that make food such a powerful connector. It’s a space for anyone who believes that every meal carries a story — and that inspiration often begins with tasting something new.

My hope is that what you find here sparks your own adventures — in the kitchen, at the table, and wherever your appetite for discovery takes you.

XO, Tracey
