About Lone Recipes

Lone Recipes is a growing collection of family recipes shared by Chris, a home cook who loves feeding the people around his table. Every recipe is written the way a friend would explain it: simple ingredients, clear step-by-step instructions, prep and cook times, servings, the equipment you need and honest notes about what worked and what did not. Whether you are cooking for one or for a full house, our goal is to make wholesome home cooking easy and enjoyable.

  • What Will You Find?

    • Easy family recipes for every meal, organised into 22 recipe categories from breakfast and dinners to desserts and slow cooker meals.
    • Recipe cards with prep and cook time, servings, the equipment you need, allergen information and Chris's own notes.
    • Clear step-by-step instructions written for everyday home kitchens, not restaurant ones.
    • A keyword search, an all-recipes page and an RSS feed so you never miss a new dish.

  • Who is Chris?

    • Chris is a home cook who learned in a busy family kitchen and still cooks the recipes he grew up with.
    • He tests every recipe at home before it is published and writes down exactly what worked.
    • He believes good food does not need fancy ingredients or complicated techniques, just a little care.
