Welcome to Aroma of Grandma

Yesterday’s Taste, Today’s Joy

Hi there, and welcome! I’m Mariam Harutyunyan, the heart behind Aroma of Grandma — a space born from love, treasured memories, and the comforting aromas of classic home-cooked meals.

Aroma of Grandma is more than a food blog—it’s a tribute.
A tribute to the quiet magic my grandmother wove into our lives through her cooking. Every simmering pot, every golden loaf fresh from the oven was more than food—it was a story. A story of resilience, care, and unconditional warmth. Her kitchen was a place where worries softened, laughter lingered, and every dish held a piece of her love. Those memories, rich with flavor and feeling, are what I carry into this space and hope to share with you.

Here, we believe food is memory. It’s the fragrance of cardamom on a winter morning, the crisp snap of a biscuit tray just pulled from the oven, the gentle hum of voices gathered around a table. It’s the hush of a kitchen where something special is always bubbling away. This platform is my way of honoring women like my grandmother—the silent matriarchs who taught us that love doesn’t always need words; sometimes, it’s found in ladles, rolling pins, and flour-dusted hands.

Within these pages, you’ll find recipes rooted in heritage yet refreshed for the modern cook. But more than that, you’ll discover a celebration of family traditions, kitchen wisdom passed down through generations, and the joy of nourishing the people you love. From the simplest soup to the most festive feast, each recipe carries a story worth retelling.

Aroma of Grandma is not just about cooking—it’s about connection. It’s about remembering where we come from, honoring those who came before us, and carrying their love forward into our own kitchens. It’s about the way a familiar flavor can take you back to childhood, or how sharing a dish can create new memories for years to come.

Whether you’re recreating a beloved recipe from your past or exploring something entirely new, you are welcome here. This is a table without borders, where nostalgia meets curiosity—seasoned always with a generous pinch of heart.

So pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of tea, and let’s cook, remember, and savor—together.

With warmth and gratitude,
Mariam Harutyunyan
