The Matching Aprons

Hi Friend! I’m Adana, and I am beyond thrilled that you stopped by

​

Just like my kitchen at home, The Matching Aprons is a little corner of the internet where I get to share beautiful moments with my daughter, Saidah. We’re proud New Yorkers with Caribbean roots, and our love for cooking has always been at the heart of our family. I’ll never forget when Saidah, at just 3 years old, toddled into the kitchen while I was cooking. She wanted to help, and in that moment, we bonded over more than just food—we shared stories, jokes, and she asked the most curious questions about life. Since then, the kitchen has become our safe space, where we cook, laugh, and navigate both the highs and lows of life together.

​

Through this blog, we’re opening up our home to you. We’re sharing the stories behind our dishes, the faces that have shaped us, and the moments that bring us joy—and sometimes tears. We hope to inspire you to do the same, to gather in your kitchen, and create memories with your loved ones, one recipe at a time. If you’d like to know more about the cultures, experiences, and people that inspire us, check out our blog. Or, if you’re eager to get cooking, dive right into our recipes here!

And hey, if our stories or dishes inspire you, we’d absolutely love to see what you create! Tag us on Instagram @thematchingaprons — we can’t wait to share this journey with you.
