About RecipesMom

Good Food From a Home That Knows Comfort

RecipesMom was born from a simple wish: to bring warmth, flavor, and simplicity back into everyday cooking. It all started with handwritten recipes passed from mother to daughter, weekend meals filled with laughter, and the comforting smell of cinnamon drifting through a small family kitchen.

Tessa and Hazel both grew up in homes where the kitchen was the heartbeat of family life. Sunday dinners were sacred, and every celebration had its own signature dish, from Tessa's mother's creamy chicken bake to Hazel's warm apple crumble that never lasted more than a few minutes out of the oven.

RecipesMom began as a shared notebook of family favorites, little scribbles, quick notes, and simple recipes that turned into the foundation of something bigger. The goal was never to impress; it was to inspire. To make cooking feel less like a performance and more like a way of showing care, one meal at a time.

Each recipe here carries a memory: the soup that comforted a tired day, the cookies that marked a new beginning, the dinner that brought friends closer. That is the heart of RecipesMom — real food, real moments, shared with love.

How We Organize Our Recipes

We've organized our recipes around how you actually eat — making it easy to find exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.

Meet Our Authors

Meet Tessa

Tessa is the heart of RecipesMom — a passionate home cook who believes the best recipes are the ones that become memories. Her love for cooking began at age nine when she baked her first chocolate cake for her grandmother's birthday, slightly sunken in the middle but unforgettable in taste.

Since then, her kitchen has been her creative space. She is known for her soft chocolate chip cookies, creamy pasta nights, and her "no-fail" lemon loaf that always brightens the weekend. Tessa's recipes are cozy, practical, and full of heart — proof that simple food can still be special.

Meet Hazel

Hazel joined RecipesMom with a love for rustic flavors and slow, comforting meals. Growing up on her grandmother's countryside farm, she learned to cook with what was fresh, seasonal, and simple. Her signature dishes, like her honey-roasted carrots and warm shepherd's pie, reflect her roots in wholesome, unfussy cooking.

To Hazel, a good recipe is not about perfection; it is about warmth and memory. Together, Tessa and Hazel make sure every dish shared on RecipesMom feels like it came from a real kitchen — tested, loved, and made to be enjoyed around the table.

Behind the Scenes

What you see on RecipesMom is more than a recipe; it is a piece of our everyday lives. Each photo comes from our own kitchens, with the real light that spills through the window and the real dishes that sit on our tables. Sometimes there is a bit of flour on the counter, sometimes a little chaos in the background, but always a story worth sharing.

Tessa writes and cooks in her cozy kitchen where the scent of freshly baked cookies often mixes with laughter and coffee. Hazel tests recipes in her sunlit farmhouse kitchen, surrounded by the sound of simmering pots and her old wooden spoon collection. Together, we cook, taste, laugh, and sometimes fail before a single recipe appears on the site.

Our Kitchen Philosophy

At RecipesMom, we believe cooking is one of the most beautiful ways to care for yourself and others. A meal is not just food; it is a memory waiting to happen. The rhythm of chopping, the sound of a pan sizzling, the first taste of something you made with your own hands — these are the small moments that fill life with warmth.
