About Isabel
Hi! I'm Isabel Reis Laessig, and this is my website of all things side dishes! If you know me from Sunday Supper, you know how much I love cooking, especially for family and friends.
I love sharing easy side dish recipes and truly believe side dishes make the meal. When my parents immigrated from Portugal in the late 60s, they brought with them a love for cooking passed on to me, and then to my own children. Family dinners were never just about the main course - they were about the full meal, complete with side dishes (and plenty of laughter around the table!).
Since creating Sunday Supper in 2012, I have been sharing my best side dish recipes with families everywhere, through publishing them on our website, hosting the Food and Wine Conference, and making TV appearances.
In the years that have passed since then, I've shared many of my family's favorite side dish recipes - so making a website themed around side dish recipes was the natural next step!
It is my goal to share with you my best recipes for side dishes, along with all the tips and tricks I've picked up along the way. You'll learn everything you need to know about making the best sides for every meal here, from average weekdays to the holidays!
Da Minha Mesa Para A Sua com Beijinhos – from my table to yours with kisses,
Isabel
