About All Food Board
All Food Board is a recipe website for home cooks who want clear instructions, realistic timings and dishes they can make on a weeknight or for a holiday table. It covers everyday cooking as well as baking, international food and seasonal menus, and it is written for people at any skill level, from first-time cooks to those who already know their way around a kitchen.
The archive runs from a 25-minute beef schnitzel and a 15-minute sour cream dill sauce to a full Thanksgiving turkey with all the sides.
Who this site is for
If you are looking for a fast dinner, a dessert for a gathering, a vegetarian main, or a way to use what is already in your pantry, you should find a starting point here. The recipes are organized into categories so you can browse by need rather than by guesswork:
- Quick & Easy Recipes – the largest section, for short ingredient lists and short cooking times.
- Desserts & Sweets – cakes, cookies, pies and other baking.
- Healthy Eats – lighter and vegetable-forward meals.
- Global Cuisine – dishes from different cooking traditions, including a good number of German recipes.
- Seasonal Favorites – holiday and time-of-year cooking, such as Thanksgiving turkey and sides.
- Vegetarian Delights – meat-free mains and sides.
- Cooking Tips & Techniques – guidance on methods rather than single dishes.
- Budget-Friendly Meals – recipes built around affordable ingredients.
- Meal Prep Ideas – food that can be cooked ahead and stored.
- Food Trends & Innovations – a small section on newer ideas in food.
Our mission
The aim is to make home cooking feel manageable. That means plain language, ingredient amounts you can measure, and times that reflect real kitchens rather than best-case scenarios. A recipe is only useful if you can follow it while also stirring a pot and answering a question from the next room.
How recipes are developed and edited
Each recipe is developed and edited with one practical goal: that a home cook can follow it from start to finish without guessing. The editing covers the parts of a recipe that decide whether it works on an ordinary evening:
- Clear steps written in a sensible order, so you are not surprised halfway through.
- Realistic times and temperatures, including prep, cooking and resting where it matters.
- Ingredient substitutions where a swap is reasonable, so a missing item does not stop you.
- Food-safety notes, especially for poultry, ground meat, eggs and make-ahead dishes.
Ovens, pans and ingredients vary, so treat times as a guide. Use your own judgment, adjust to your equipment, and verify doneness with a food thermometer rather than relying on time alone – particularly for roasts, turkey and anything containing meat or eggs.
The authors
The recipes are published under the names of four authors, each with a focus area: family-friendly German and holiday home cooking, quick vegan and plant-based weeknight dishes, Asian street food and fusion, and rustic baking with cakes, breads and holiday sweets. You can browse each author's recipes from the profiles below.

See all recipesNutrition information and allergens
Where nutrition values appear, they are estimates. They depend on the brands you buy, how you measure and which substitutions you make, so please do not treat them as exact or as medical advice. If you manage a health condition or follow a specific diet, check the numbers against your own products.
Allergens are yours to confirm. Always read the labels on the ingredients you use, and double-check anything that may contain nuts, gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, sesame or shellfish, even if a recipe does not list them. If you are cooking for someone with an allergy, do not rely on a recipe alone.
Feedback and reporting a problem
Recipes get better when readers tell us what happened in their kitchen. If a step is unclear, a time seems off, an ingredient amount looks wrong, or you simply have a question, please get in touch through our contact page. Please mention the name of the recipe and, if you can, which step or ingredient you mean, so the problem is quick to find.
How corrections are handled
When a mistake is reported, the recipe is looked at and the error is fixed on the page itself. Errors that affect safety, such as an incorrect temperature or a missing allergen note, come first. Smaller issues, like a typo or an unclear sentence, are corrected as they are reached. The goal is for every page to show the most accurate version of the recipe, so a known problem is updated in place rather than left standing.
