About Foodie Front
Foodie Front is a recipe site for home cooks who want a dependable dinner, a simple dessert, a side that rounds out the table or a drink to make at home. The recipes are written for ordinary kitchens: ingredients you can find at a regular grocery store, equipment most people already own and steps that make sense the first time you read them.
You will find recipes for a quick weeknight meal, a make-ahead dish for the week, a dessert for a gathering and a refreshing glass for a hot afternoon. Beginners can follow along without guessing, and more experienced cooks can use the recipes as a starting point and adjust them to taste.
What You Will Find Here
The recipes are organized into four main categories, so it is easy to go straight to what you need:
- Mains: the largest category, covering pasta, casseroles, soups, baked fish, pan-seared steak, chicken dishes and meal-prep recipes for busy weeks.
- Sweets: cakes, cupcakes, chocolate desserts, quick bakes, zucchini bread and frozen treats.
- Sides: vegetable dishes, sweet potato sides, salads, seasoning blends and dressings that go with almost any main.
- Drinks: lemonade, spritzers, smoothies and iced teas made with simple ingredients.
Within these categories you will also find themed collections, such as summer fruit recipes, cozy fall meals, party appetizers and energy smoothies. They are one way to browse, handy when you have a particular ingredient or occasion in mind.
How Recipes Are Developed and Edited
Every recipe is developed and edited with the same goals in mind, so that you can cook from it with confidence:
- Clear steps. Instructions are written in plain language and in the order you actually work, without jargon or skipped stages.
- Realistic times and temperatures. Prep and cooking times and oven or stovetop temperatures are set to be practical for a home kitchen. Ovens, pans and burners vary, so treat the times as a guide and use the visual cues in the method.
- Ingredient substitutions. Where a swap is likely to help, such as a different herb, a dairy alternative or a pantry stand-in, the recipe suggests one.
- Food-safety notes. Recipes include guidance on handling, storing and cooking food safely. For meat, poultry and fish, always confirm doneness with a food thermometer rather than relying on time alone.
Use your own judgement as you cook. Taste as you go, adjust seasoning to your preference and change quantities if your pan, oven or appetite calls for it.
Recipe Authors
Recipes on Foodie Front are published under four author profiles, each with its own focus area, from comfort mains and roasts to vegetable sides, quick sweets and homemade drinks. Each profile below shows what that author covers.
Our team:
Rachel Bennett
Crispy broiled chicken thighs, slow-cooked cheesy potatoes and sous vide short ribs show the kind of cooking Rachel Bennett's profile is built around: hearty, family-sized dishes with clear steps. Her hundreds of recipes lean heavily toward mains, with sides and the occasional loaf of bread or pie alongside.
See all recipesDerek Sullivan
Roasted maple carrots, garlicky green beans and watermelon salads with feta set the tone for Derek Sullivan's recipes: vegetable-forward sides built on simple techniques and bold seasoning. His recipes also include make-ahead bowls and a few mains that pair well with his sides.

Zucchini bread, mug cakes, caramel apple spice and no-fuss fruit desserts fill Megan Crawford's recipe shelf, most of them built around short prep and everyday ingredients. With hundreds of recipes, almost all of them sweets, it leans toward treats you can make on a weeknight rather than a whole weekend project.
See all recipesTyler Morrison
Smoothies blended in five minutes, iced teas steeped in a pitcher and fruit sodas built from real juice and syrups make up the core of this drink collection. Tyler Morrison's focus stays on simple methods and ingredients that are easy to find. Each recipe is a drink you can make at home for a fraction of the café price.

Where nutrition information is shown, treat it as an estimate. Values change with the brands you buy, how you measure and which substitutions you make. If you follow a medical diet or track nutrients closely, check the figures against your own ingredients.
Allergens deserve the same care. Always read the labels on the products you use, since ingredients and manufacturing practices differ between brands, and check each recipe against your own allergies and those of the people you cook for. If a substitution is suggested, make sure it is safe for your needs before you use it.
Feedback, Questions and Corrections
If something in a recipe is unclear, a step does not work in your kitchen, an ingredient amount looks wrong or you spot a typo, please let us know through the contact page. It helps to mention the name of the recipe and describe what happened, including your pan size or oven if you think it matters.
Reports about errors are taken seriously. When a problem is confirmed, the recipe is updated so that the published version is accurate. You are also welcome to use the contact page for general questions, suggestions for recipes you would like to see or anything else about the site.
