Meet Mae
Welcome to The Recipe Lounge — I’m so glad you’re here!
Hi, I’m Mae. A proud mom, passionate home cook, and the heart behind The Recipe Lounge.
My love for cooking started in a little kitchen filled with the scent of cinnamon, fresh herbs, and something always baking in the oven. I grew up watching my grandmother stir with love and serve with joy — and that joy never left me. Her secret? Simplicity and soul.
Back then, weekend breakfasts were something to look forward to — fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon, and a table full of smiles. And don’t get me started on her strawberry jam. To this day, just one bite takes me back to those sweet moments.
Now that I’m in my 40s, I carry her spirit with me every time I cook. The kitchen remains my happy place — a space where creativity meets comfort, and where meals are made with love (and usually a side of coffee).
The Recipe Lounge was born out of a desire to make everyday cooking joyful and doable. Whether it’s a quick dinner after a long day or a Sunday brunch with the family, I’m here to share ideas that work for busy lives — without giving up flavor or fun.
Every recipe on this blog is tested, tasted, and made with real life in mind. I believe food should be easy, heartwarming, and something that brings people together — just like it did for me growing up.
So grab your coffee, take a look around, and let’s make something delicious together.
I’m so happy you’re part of this kitchen journey with me.
With love,
Mae
