Hi there! I’m Mandy Applegate, the person behind My Reliable Recipes. If you’re here, you’re probably just like me—fed up with all those AI-powered recipe sites that seem to churn out the same old, unreliable dishes that aren’t even tested by a real person. That’s why I decided to create this site.

Every recipe you find here has been tried, tested, and created by me—a real person in a real kitchen. I love experimenting with flavors, techniques, and cuisines, making sure each dish is something you’ll be proud to share with family and friends.

I’m passionate about all kinds of food, from classic American comfort food to international favorites (and if you like travelling, check out my travel site Ticket to Wanderland). Whether you’re looking for a simple weeknight dinner or an impressive dish for a special occasion, you’ll find something here that’s not just reliable, but truly delicious.

So welcome to My Reliable Recipes—where every dish comes with a personal guarantee: It’s been made with care, love, and a lot of taste-testing! Let’s get cooking together!
