Hi I’m Rachel

I became obsessed with efficiency in the kitchen for a real reason. I have MS, so fatigue basically runs the show (well that and Reggie of course). I cook like I might need to lie down halfway through, cause sometimes I actually do. But I also refuse to eat shitty food. If I’m putting in ANY effort, it better be worth it. And that has honestly made me a better recipe developer. I care about creating recipes that require the least amount of energy and cleanup as they possibly can (without compromising).

The result is food that's easy on purpose. Not shortcuts that taste like shortcuts. Real recipes, maximum flavor, minimum drama.

This is dinner, sorted.

Free subscribers get: a taste of the Saturday recipe, free recipes throughout the month, and enough to know if this is your kind of cooking.

Paid subscribers get:

• Every week: a recipe that’s been tested for the nights when you’re running low. Not dumbed down. Actually delicious and built smarter. You get the full recipe, the technique notes that make it work, substitutions for what you don’t have, and a printable version for your counter.

• 20+ new recipes a month, 300+ in the archive, and a community of people cooking the same way, and a direct line to me when something goes sideways.

A little about me

I live in Vancouver with my fiancé and our golden retriever Reggie (short for Parmigiano Reggiano - who enforces a strict cheese tax). I left my job in tech to cook for a living, and I care a lot about how food fits into everyday life.

No strict kitchen rules, no food snobbery. Just really good food, made the way you actually want to make it.
