Who Are We?

At Mingleats, we’re more than just a recipe site—we’re a community of food lovers, home cooks, and recipe enthusiasts who believe that cooking should be simple, fun, and accessible for everyone. Whether you’re a beginner nervously flipping pancakes for the first time or a seasoned pro experimenting with a slow-cooker beef bourguignon, we’re here to guide you. Our goal is to help you create delicious meals that not only fill your stomach but also bring a smile to your face and warmth to your home.

I started Mingleats because I wanted a place to share my family recipes and the stories behind them. As a personal chef for several years, I’ve had the privilege of cooking for families, hosting intimate dinners, and teaching others how to find joy in the kitchen. That experience taught me the importance of approachable recipes and the power of food to bring people together.

Today, our team of recipe developers, testers, and food photographers works tirelessly to bring you tested recipes, cooking tips, and meal plans that work in real life. Because let’s be honest, no one has time for fussy recipes or tons of dirty dishes at the end of the night. We’re all about real food, real stories, and real connections.

Our History

The story of Mingleats began in my own kitchen, where my love for cooking first took root. As a personal chef, I spent years crafting meals for families, hosting dinners, and teaching others to find joy in the kitchen. Those experiences showed me that cooking is about more than food—it’s about connection and creativity.

What started as a small blog to share family recipes and kitchen tips quickly grew into something much bigger. Over the years, Mingleats has become a trusted resource for millions of home cooks worldwide. From quick weeknight meals to special occasion feasts, we’ve stayed true to our mission: making cooking approachable and deeply rewarding.

Today, I’m proud to lead a team of talented recipe developers, testers, and food photographers who share my passion. Together, we’re here to help you create meals that are as meaningful as they are delicious. Cooking is a journey, and we’re thrilled to be part of yours.

Recipe Approval and Testing

At Mingleats, every recipe you see has gone through a rigorous testing and approval process. Our team of recipe developers and testers works tirelessly to ensure that each dish is not only delicious but also reliable and easy to follow. We believe that great recipes should work every time, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook.

Before a recipe makes it to the site, it’s tested multiple times in real home kitchens. We pay close attention to ingredient measurements, cooking times, and step-by-step instructions to eliminate any guesswork. Our goal is to provide you with recipes that are foolproof and deliver consistent results, so you can cook with confidence.

We also value feedback from our community of home cooks. If a recipe doesn’t work as expected, we revisit it, make adjustments, and retest until it’s perfect. This commitment to quality is what makes Mingleats a trusted resource for millions of cooks around the world.

Diversity & Inclusion

At Mingleats, we believe that food has the power to bring people together, no matter their background or experience. Our community is built on the idea that everyone should feel welcome and represented in the kitchen. We celebrate the diverse cultures, traditions, and stories that make cooking so rich and meaningful.

We’re committed to creating a space where all voices are heard and valued. From the recipes we share to the team we build, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we’re working to make Mingleats a platform that inspires and empowers cooks from all walks of life.
