FINANCE BY DAY, FOODIE BY NIGHT!!!

Hi I'm Jaysal, founder of JP Cuisine - By day, I’m a Finance Business Partner, by heart, I’m a chef in the making. Cooking is my therapy—a space where I disconnect from the noise and reconnect with creativity.

Known by friends and family for my love of food, travel, and culinary exploration, I started JP Cuisine to share that passion with others. This journey isn’t just about great meals—it’s about finding joy in the process, turning cooking from a chore into a celebration.

Let’s discover happiness in the kitchen, one dish at a time.

My Story

Food has always been at the center of my life. I grew up surrounded by a family of cooks, learning early on that the best meals aren’t just about taste — they’re about connection, love, and laughter around the table. Cooking quickly became my love language, and if my friends had to describe me, they’d probably call me the Monica from Friends of the group: organized in the kitchen, always hosting, and happiest when feeding people.

Outside the kitchen, I’m a Finance Business Partner by trade, balancing spreadsheets and strategy by day. But when the workday ends, I swap my laptop for a kitchen worktop. Food is where I get to be creative, playful, and adventurous. Traveling has fueled that passion even more — I love exploring new countries, sampling dishes that inspire me, and bringing those flavors back home to share with friends and family.

Cooking has been part of my life since I was young, but the COVID-19 pandemic gave me the chance to truly dive in. During those months at home, I experimented more than ever, honed my skills, and started sharing my creations on Instagram through jp_cusine. What began as a fun project quickly grew into a community.

Here, I want to help people rediscover the joy of cooking. My mission is simple: to inspire you to put down the takeaway menu and create meals that excite you, comfort you, and bring people together. Because cooking doesn’t have to be complicated — it just has to be made with heart.

So whether you’re looking for quick weeknight recipes, travel-inspired dishes, or just a little spark to get back into the kitchen, you’re in the right place. Grab your apron and join me — let’s cook, eat, and enjoy every bite together.
