These standards guide every page on The Cook Nests.
Written for two from the start
Our recipes are developed at two-serving quantities, with pan sizes and cooking times chosen for that amount — not simply halved from larger recipes.
Clear, US-friendly instructions
We use US customary measurements and Fahrenheit, list ingredients in the order they're used, and give separate prep and cook times.
Food safety first
Where it matters, recipes state USDA-recommended safe minimum internal temperatures and storage guidance.
No health or medical claims
We describe food in culinary terms and never claim a dish prevents or treats any condition.
