Invent Your Recipe: Simple Dishes Made Your Way

Hi! My name is Tom and welcome to my blog. Are you a beginner cook looking for recipe suggestions? Are you an experienced home cook looking for a place to share ideas and offer suggestions to recipes? Or, are you somewhere in-between? If so, you found the right place.

Here at Invent Your Recipe I make simple everyday dishes that can be changed up using different ingredients.

I offer base recipes and alternative ingredient suggestions. All brought to you by a Cook that does not like recipes! That’s right. I cook without recipes, then write down what I did! It is not for everyone, but that is my style, and I hope you like it.

If you are interested in seeing my recipe style, grab your free eCookbook and enjoy! I also hope to see you in the comments of one of the many recipes on this blog, contributing to the experience!

The Concept of Invent Your Recipe

The idea for this website came about from me trying to write down recipes for my wife, who wanted to be able to cook the dishes I love. As I began writing recipes down I found it difficult because I always change the ways I prepare dishes, I like to create, not emulate. The name “Invent Your Recipe” was a direct result of the idea of creating.

And the motto for this idea of Invent Your Recipe is: Create, Taste, Innovate

I hope that this website can serve as a platform for sharing ideas and for pushing the boundaries of contemporary dishes. To learn more about me check out the about the cook page and I look forward to inventing recipes with you!
