About The Recipe Trail
We are a small team of home cooks in the United States who got tired of recipes that say "easy" and then take four hours.
Why trail markers?
Hiking trails tell you what you are getting into before you leave the lot. Every recipe here does the same: an easy trail is a relaxed cook, a moderate trail asks for a technique or two, and an expert trail is a long project that pays off big.
How we test
Each recipe is cooked at least three times in standard American home kitchens with supermarket ingredients. We use US measurements, Fahrenheit temperatures and note where a thermometer matters.
What we cook
Breakfast, weeknight mains, soups and salads, backyard BBQ and desserts. Expect regional classics and the occasional modern twist.
