At Cooking With Magali, our steamed recipes category is a labor of love. Steaming is one of the oldest and most nutritious cooking methods — it preserves the natural colors, textures, and vitamins of ingredients while requiring minimal oil. But behind every perfectly steamed dumpling, tender fish fillet, or fluffy bao bun lies a team of passionate individuals who test, photograph, and write each recipe so you can recreate it with confidence.
Our team believes that healthy eating should never be boring. That’s why we pour our creativity into every steamed dish, from classic Asian dim sum to modern grain bowls and vegetable medleys. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just starting out, we’re here to guide you step by step.
Who We Are
Magali — Founder & Head Recipe Developer. Magali is the heart of Cooking With Magali. Born in Brazil and now based in New Jersey, she draws inspiration from her multicultural background and travels. She develops every steamed recipe with a focus on simplicity, bold flavor, and wholesome ingredients.
Photography & Styling Team — Our visual storytellers capture the beauty of steam rising, vibrant vegetables, and golden dumplings. They work with natural light and minimal props to make each dish look as delicious as it tastes.
Recipe Testing & Editorial — A meticulous group of home cooks and editors who test every recipe multiple times to ensure clear instructions, accurate timings, and consistent results. They also write the helpful tips and ingredient notes you see on each page.
Our Process
Creating a steamed recipe starts with inspiration — a seasonal vegetable, a traditional technique, or a reader request. Magali develops the initial version in her kitchen, then our testers refine it across different stovetops and bamboo steamers. Once the recipe is foolproof, our photographers style and shoot it, and our editorial team crafts the story and instructions you see online. Every step is driven by a shared passion: making steamed cooking accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
We also listen closely to our community. Many of our steamed recipes have been shaped by your comments and questions. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep greens bright or prevent dumplings from sticking — we’ve tested it and have the answer.
