Our story (the “why” behind HMM)

HMM Recipes started with a real-life problem: weeknights were busy, grocery budgets were real, and we needed recipes that didn’t require scrolling through ten screens to figure out what to do next. We wanted clear instructions, repeatable outcomes, and food that fits normal life.

Today, we still work the same way—cook, taste, adjust, and rewrite until the recipe reads like a friend is standing next to you in the kitchen.

Story-driven detail (not generic bios) You’ll see who tested the recipe, why it exists, and what we changed after real feedback—because trust is built on specifics.
Clarity-first writing We include pan sizes, doneness cues, and timing ranges—so you’re not guessing.
Updates you can feel When a step can be clearer, we fix it. When a substitution works better, we add it.

Recipe development & testing

  • Recipes are tested with real timing ranges and doneness cues (not just “cook 10 minutes”).
  • We note pan sizes, heat levels, and texture indicators (golden edges, thickened broth, etc.).
  • When helpful, we add substitutions, make-ahead tips, storage, and reheating instructions.
  • Nutrition values (if shown) are estimates—brands and ingredients vary.

Content integrity

  • Original writing and photography intended for HMM Recipes.
  • We update older recipes when feedback shows a step can be clearer or more reliable.
  • Comments are moderated for kindness, safety, and usefulness.

Disclosures & privacy

  • We may earn from affiliate links; we disclose when applicable (FTC-compliant).
  • Privacy practices are outlined in our Privacy Policy.
  • Cookies (where applicable) are described in our Cookie Policy.
