Frequently Asked Questions

The stuff people ask me the most, all in one place.

+ Who is Cristie?
Hi! I'm Cristie. I love cooking and I've been collecting recipes for years. I started this site in 2020 to organize all the recipes I had scattered everywhere, and it grew from there. I'm not a chef, just someone who really enjoys making good food at home.
+ Are all the recipes tested?
Yep, every single one. I don't post anything I haven't made myself. My family and friends have tried most of them too and I've tweaked things based on their feedback.
+ Can I substitute ingredients?
Go for it! I swap things out all the time. If there's a substitution I know works well, I'll usually mention it in the recipe. Otherwise just experiment. Some of my best versions of things came from not having the right ingredient on hand.
+ How do I search for recipes from a specific country?
Head to the Cuisines page and pick a country. You'll see all the recipes I have from that part of the world.
+ Can I filter recipes by ingredients?
Yes! The Ingredients page lets you pick an ingredient and see every recipe that uses it. Really handy when you're trying to use up what's in the fridge.
+ What categories of recipes do you have?
Appetizers, mains, desserts, breakfast, soups, all that good stuff. Check the Categories page to browse through them.
+ How often do you add new recipes?
Whenever I make something I'm really happy with! There's no set schedule. I just add things as I go. The homepage has a "New This Week" section if you want to see the latest.
+ Can I submit my own recipes?
I'd love that! If you have a recipe you think I should try, send it over through my contact page. I'm always looking for new things to cook.
+ Do you provide nutritional information?
Not right now, sorry! I'm focused on the cooking side of things. If you need nutrition info, you can plug the ingredient list into any online nutrition calculator and it'll do the math for you.
+ Can I print the recipes?
Yes! There's a Print Recipe button on every recipe page. It'll give you a clean version without all the website stuff around it.
