About Me

Hi, I’m Lyuba—chef-taught, restaurant-taught, and self-taught cook, food enthusiast, and fire-side flavor chaser behind Grilling Smoking Living. You may know me from Will Cook For Smiles, where I’ve shared hundreds of cozy, comforting recipes for everyday meals and special occasions. But when the weather warms up (or even when it doesn’t), you’ll find me outside, tongs in hand, working the grill or tending the smoker.

This site is dedicated to all things grilled, smoked, and flame-seared. From juicy steaks and smoky brisket to perfectly grilled seafood and flavorful veggies, I’m here to help you master outdoor cooking with detailed tutorials, tried-and-true recipes, and tips that make even low-and-slow smoking feel simple.

Whether you’re a beginner griller or a seasoned pitmaster, you’ll find something here to inspire your next cookout. So fire up that grill—let’s make something delicious together!

Let's get grilling!

Welcome, everyone! I’m Lyuba Brooke, come in, grab a beer, and head to the backyard. Here, I love to grill, barbecue, and share everything I make. You will find a ton of recipes for grilling, smoking, and the sauces to dip it in.
