Yakir Havin's Recipes

Hi, I'm Yakir Havin. I'm Melbourne-born and started cooking seriously when I moved out of home to NYC in 2021.

For two years I cooked dinner for myself and my roommates almost every night, trying out new things, and spending lots of time watching and reading about cooking.

In late 2022, I started posting stories on Instagram, and after a few months progressed to posting reels. 150+ videos later (and recently a few with my new wife), my cooking has definitely improved more than my filming skills, and I'm glad to have a community of friends and family with whom I can share my cooking and talk about concepts, recipes, and techniques.

For me, it's all about having fun, learning, and sharing a passion (and food!) with others.

I was never very strict about posting recipes on my reels, but I have always written recipes in my iPhone Notes app, 1) as a shopping checklist, 2) the act of writing forces me to understand the techniques and steps involved, and 3) I can come back to something I made a while ago and remind myself how I did it.

When I found out about Recipe.Site, something clicked and I felt it was the right way to share recipes for those in my community who wanted them. Over time, I'll be filling in my historical recipes, and going forward I hope to post recipes to all the new things that I cook.
