about us

Hi! We’re Mia and Julian! Partners in Life, Love, and a Whole Lot of Home Cooked Meals!

Welcome to Home Cook Simple, where we bring everyday cooking back to the basics in the best way possible. We’re not professional chefs or culinary influencers, we’re just two people who love cooking together and finding joy in simple, homemade food.

This space was born from our Sunday meal preps, spontaneous weeknight experiments, and that one burnt lasagna that somehow brought us even closer (true story). Over time, we realized we weren’t alone, so many people are looking for real recipes that work, taste great, and don’t require a million steps or fancy gadgets.

At Home Cook Simple, you’ll find approachable, reliable recipes that make sense for real life. Whether you’re cooking for two, feeding kids, or just figuring out dinner after a long day. We’re here to help you slow down, savor the process, and fall in love with cooking at home.

A Little More About Us

We met over a shared love of comfort food and late-night kitchen conversations, and honestly, not much has changed since. What started as a casual habit of cooking together after work quickly became our favorite way to unwind, connect, and care for each other.

We created Home Cook Simple because we believe good food doesn’t need to be complicated. Some of our best meals come from pantry staples, a little teamwork, and a lot of improvising. Our kitchen isn’t perfect, our recipes aren’t always fancy, BUT they’re real, reliable, and full of heart.

Julian’s the one who reads the directions (usually), and Mia’s the one who says, “Let’s wing it!” Together, we balance each other out. That same spirit shows up in our recipes. Whether we’re recreating our favorite takeout at home or making a budget-friendly meal that actually tastes amazing, we’re always focused on one thing: making home cooking feel doable and enjoyable.

When we’re not cooking, you’ll find us walking our dog Clover, thrifting for old kitchenware, or planning our next weekend bake-off. We hope this little corner helps you slow down, eat well, and enjoy the simple pleasure of cooking at home.

At Home Cook Simple, we’re all about good food made easy.

Here, you won’t find complicated steps or picture-perfect expectations. Just honest, feel-good recipes born from burnt lasagnas, last-minute cravings, and a whole lot of kitchen laughter.
Whether you’re cooking for two or juggling a busy family dinner, we’re here to help you slow down, cook with heart, and find joy in the everyday.
