About Us
Recipe Rascal was created to share recipes in a simple manner. Tired
of loose paper, stained cookbooks, and websites with overwhelming ads,
we (Dan and Mark) were looking for something more convenient.
We decided to build a recipe website without any clutter where people
could find and add recipes quickly. Cooking can be a messy endeavor,
but we believe that sharing recipes should be clean and easy.
Why the name "Recipe Rascal?" Both of us have young kids - our little Rascals. They are full of energy, fun, and new ideas. We named the site in honor of them. This is one cookbook they can't dump their juice on.
Dan - About Me
I live in Burlington, Vermont. My job description at The Rascal is "what Mark does not do, Dan shall commit to." My cooking skills are a little rough around the edges, and a little rough in non-edge areas as well. Can I outcook Mark and Tess? It's unclear, but a lot of people think I try harder. I am working on my culinary arts though, and I have been using The Rascal to help. I started the site with Mark because I wanted to be able to quickly grab recipes from my family and friends without having to email them or type them all in. My trophy case for great meals is, admittedly, small, but most of them originated from someone I know. View Dan's Rascal page |Mark - About Me
I handle most of the technical work on "The Rascal." My favorite recipe is Mock Turtle Soup. I must admit that I am a terrible cook. When I stand over the stovetop, my wife rolls her eyes. When I am operating the blender, people duck for cover. My only hope for culinary success is learning from the recipes people submit to "The Rascal." I hope to improve my skills but can't do it without your help. Save me from eternal failure and Add your recipe now. View Mark's Rascal Page |
Tess - About Me
I am originally from the Philippines, now living in St Louis. Believe it or not, when I was 22, I wasn't sure how to boil eggs. Also, I actually used 1/4 cup of oil to fry bacon! If you are a beginner cook, Recipe Rascal can come in very handy and can be very helpful. We have the simplest recipes from Boiled Eggs to Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes. When you get the "feel" of cooking, you can do El Paso Chicken Legs and Shrimp a la Creole. To cap it off, make something out of the box like Chicken Curry or Fricasseed Sturgeon. Truly delicious recipes! I have come a long way since then - my kids love and enjoy the dishes I cook for them. So, to all the new cooks out there, just cook! It really gets easier and a whole lot better over time. Happy cooking!
One last note: We read all of the email that comes in. Our main mission is building a better recipe tool, one that is free for you. So if you write to us, we'll hear (or read) you.
