At Best of Cooking, we know that learning to cook delicious meals at home can be a bit overwhelming, especially when trying to stick to a budget. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to provide you with accurate and reliable recipes that are not just delicious, but also easy on your wallet.

Recipe Reality

We were tired of unrealistic recipes, so we insist on accurate cooking and preparation times that are listed for each recipe. Time is a precious commodity, and we want to make sure you have all the information you need to plan and prep your meals with ease. Whether you’re a busy working professional, a stay-at-home parent, or just trying to cut down on expenses, our recipes are designed to fit your busy lifestyle and goals.

Credibility of our portions is also key. We enjoy the food we cook, and we were frustrated by recipes that lied about portions size to fit some unrealistic goal of calories or quantities. No one is going to eat one cookie, a teaspoon is not a sauce portion, and our soup bowls hold more than 1/2 cup.  Cooking for a family can be tricky, especially when you’re trying to make sure that everyone gets enough to eat. That’s why we’ve made sure that our recipes are calculated to provide you with accurate and realistic portions, so you can plan your family’s meals correctly and without breaking the bank.

Our chefs believe in honest cooking. Our recipes are not only delicious, cost-effective (cheap), and tested in our own kitchens, they also have realistic preparation and cooking times. Many recipes have variations and substitutions, and we encourage experimentation. Each recipe includes the cost per serving, so you can budget your meals and make sure you are getting the most for your money.
