About MyRecipeHabit
Simple, cozy recipes made for real life—tested in our own kitchen and written so they’re easy, dependable, and delicious every time.
Our Story
MyRecipeHabit started as a way to collect weeknight wins and share them with friends. What stuck was a habit: clear steps, smart swaps, and bold flavor without fuss. Now we publish those same recipes—soups, skillets, casseroles, and sweet bakes—so you can cook reliably, tonight.
Every post is tested, timed, and written with the exact pan sizes, temperatures, and tips you’ll need to nail it the first time.
- ✓30–40 minute dinners + make-ahead options.
- ✓Step-by-step instructions with substitutions and swaps.
- ✓Ingredient-first flavor—no fancy gear required.

Meet the Team
Lima
Editor-in-Chief
Former test-kitchen lead who turns rough ideas into weeknight-ready recipes with bullet-proof instructions.
Background & highlights
10+ years in food media and community cooking programs. Built standardized testing sheets (timings, pan sizes, oven calibration) that cut reader failures by over 30% in pilot groups.
Notable work
- Led “Weeknight Wins”—45 recipes with ≤40-minute cook time.
- Authored the site’s Style & Clarity guide (verbs, temps, visual cues).
- Designed the substitution matrix used across soup & pasta recipes.
Toolbox
- Thermapen, oven probes, hydration tracking for doughs.
- A/B testing of instruction phrasing with reader panels.
- All-ranges: gas, induction, slow cooker, pressure cooker.
Focus
- High-flavor, low-friction dinners; freezer-friendly make-aheads.
- Accessibility—clear cues (“edges deep golden”, “simmer until glossy”).
Tara
Recipe Developer
Engineering-minded developer who optimizes steps, pans, and heat so flavor > effort.
Background & highlights
Started in café prep, moved to R&D for a meal-prep startup, then into content. Known for reducing multi-pot recipes to a single skillet or sheet pan without losing texture.
Notable work
- Developed the site’s “Base Sauce 3-Ways” framework (creamy, tomato, brothy).
- Created rapid brine + sear method for juicy 20-minute chicken dinners.
- Standardized grain ratios for foolproof one-pot rice + add-ins.
Toolbox
- Cast-iron & carbon-steel heat profiling.
- Batch-test spreadsheets (hydration %, carryover heat curves).
- Flavor “triangle” notes (acid-fat-heat) for quick balancing.
Focus
- Fast proteins, saucy pastas, high-yield marinades.
- Scaling for family size without over-crowding pans.
Ramin
Food Stylist & Photographer
Visual educator who styles for truth—what you see on the page is what you plate at home.
Background & highlights
Trained in product photography, shifted to food to prioritize process clarity. Builds shot lists around decision points (e.g., “cream just coats spoon”).
Notable work
- Developed the site’s “visual doneness” library for sauces & doughs.
- Created motion-led b-roll system (pour, toss, crackle) for 20–45s shorts.
- Color-calibrated workflows so browns/greens render true-to-life.
Toolbox
- Continuous lights + natural window sets; bounce & flag control.
- Macro lenses for texture; overhead rigs for step sequences.
- Non-slip styling, steam tricks, anti-glare plating.
Focus
- Instructional imagery that reduces reader uncertainty.
- Minimal props—ingredients and texture do the talking.
