About this website
Simple Recipes is a website I made as a hobby project to learn HTML and CSS and also to catalog and organize my favorite recipes I collected over the years.
I used to just dump all the recipes I came across in my private Discord channel, which I suppose many would relate to, but over time I realized that I want to somehow refine and organize all of them. So I decided to make a website.
Consider this my digital notebook that I mostly made for myself, but decided to share with others because you might find some of it useful for yourself. Note that I do not make any money whatsoever from any of the content posted here. Again, it's just for organizational purposes.
Most recipes here are not something super elaborate or fancy nor do I claim the title of master chef or anything like that. Cooking is just my hobby and my goal was primarily to compile a list of recipes that are simple to make and utilize easy to find ingredients. All recipes here are tested by me.
With that said, keep in mind that all content here is provided "as is" and I won't guarantee that my tastes are necessarily the same as yours.
This website has no ads or trackers and does not need any JavaScript to function. I tried to make it as light on resources as possible. It is built with HUGO static website generator.
Also, feel free to reach out to me if you spot any typo or grammar mistakes. My contact info is listed below.
Some other things to note…
- I'm European, so all measurements are in grams, meters, Celsius and I utilize European ingredients.
- I don't include calorie count or nutritional data because I don't consider it important for me, sorry.
- Since I usually cook for more than one person, most recipes yield enough food for two to three people eating.
- My measuring cup is 200 ml, my teaspoon and tablespoons are… Well standard metal teaspoons and tablespoons I use for eating.
- I'm a meat eater, so although some recipes are vegetarian, vegan/vegetarian recipes are not something I focus on.
- This site has an RSS feed. Click here!
- English is not my first language.

Button
88x31
(In case you want to link to this website. Thanks!)
"What the hell are buttons?!"
Buttons are small images, most commonly 88 by 31 pixel in size. They can be static or animated. They are a way for webmasters to exchange links in style and build a community of websites. They were really popular in the 90s and early 2000s and they are making a comeback.
If you have a personal website, you can use one of the button images and create an image-link that links to this website.

Website update
Redid my RSS feed a bit! Nothing major but, if you want to see changes, you can unsubscribe and resubscribe and don’t forget to clear your reader’s cache! Also, I converted all my recipe files to Markdown and I love it so much more than working with HTML because it’s so much more readable, but that’s beside the point and doesn’t really matter for the end user (you!).
New recipe
Imitation crab sticks saladA salad recipe that’s pretty popular in Russia.
Website update
Fixed a ton of minor grammatical errors and typos. Google docs and VSCode LTeX+ to the rescue!
Website update
Made some changes to the website’s CSS style sheet to make it easier to maintain and cleaned up some messy code. Additionally, I rewrote some bits of my zucchini pancakes recipe, nothing major or significant though. Aaand some other minor technical fixes here and there…

Website update
Implemented some minor improvements and fixes for the website. Also, all external links now open in a new browser window. Adding to this, also changed the 88x31 button’s code that was meant for embedding so that when a user clicks on it, it opens the link in a new window as well.
