Hi, I’m Jane. Welcome to Simmer Recipes.

My name is Jane, and for 40 years, my profession has been to take confusing information and make it crystal clear. I’m a professional writer and editor. But my lifelong passion has always been cooking.

I’m the real person and avid home cook behind every single recipe on this site.

My Story: Where a Writer’s Passion Meets the Kitchen

As a professional writer, I have a deep appreciation for clear, logical instructions. For years, I grew incredibly frustrated with online recipes. I’d find dishes that looked wonderful, only to be tripped up by vague directions, missing steps, or confusing measurements. It drove me crazy!

I knew there had to be a better way.

I realized I could combine my two greatest skills: my four decades of professional writing experience and my genuine love for creating delicious food in my own kitchen.

And so, Simmer Recipes was born. I started this site with a single, clear mission: to create the most reliable, foolproof, and easy-to-follow recipes on the internet. My goal isn’t just to share a list of ingredients; it’s to guide you to a perfect result every single time.

My Promise To You: A Better Recipe Experience

When you use a recipe from my site, you’re not just getting a meal idea—you’re getting a professionally crafted guide. Here’s my promise:

  • Expertly Written for Absolute Clarity: With 40 years of experience, I know how to eliminate confusion. Every step is logical, concise, and written so that anyone, from a complete beginner to a seasoned cook, can follow along with confidence.

  • Rigorously Tested in a Real Kitchen: Before I even think about writing, I’m a cook. Every recipe is developed and tested by me in my own home kitchen until it’s perfect. The photos you see are of food I’ve actually made.

  • No Guesswork, Only Guidance: I don’t just tell you what to do; I explain the why. I include the practical tips, brand recommendations, and simple techniques I’ve learned over the years so you can understand the process and build your own skills.

Thank you for being here. I am so excited to share my passion with you and help you create wonderful meals with ease and confidence.

Happy Cooking,

Jane
