About Us

Our mission is simple: Serve as your source for insanely easy — and flavorful! — recipes, cooking tutorials and other ways to make life better, one course at a time. We feature some dishes you can cook in a dorm room, but most of our content applies to any living situation, so you don’t have to be a student to enjoy ’em. A portion of our proceeds (25 percent, to be exact) goes toward student scholarships, so with each visit, you’re improving others’ lives, too.
