Hey there!
We’re Emma & Ben.
Welcome to Emma Hearth Recipes — a cozy corner of the internet where weeknight dinners feel doable,
weekend baking feels comforting, and every recipe is tested until it tastes like “make this again.”
We cook the way we live: warm, practical, and a little bit romantic — lots of simmering sauces, toasted spices, and
“just one more bite” moments.
Our story
Emma Hearth Recipes started with a simple habit: we’d cook one new dish each week and write down what we’d change
next time. Over time, the notes turned into a little recipe library we kept sharing with friends and family.
Eventually, we realized the best recipes weren’t the fanciest ones — they were the ones that helped people cook
confidently with ingredients they could actually find, and steps that made sense after a long day.
What we believe
- Real food can be simple.
- Good flavor comes from good basics (and a few smart shortcuts).
- Recipes should be clear, forgiving, and worth repeating.
- Your kitchen should feel like a place you want to be.
What you’ll find here
Comfort-first dinners
Cozy pastas, sheet-pan meals, soups, and skillet recipes built for busy nights and happy leftovers.
Weekend baking
Soft cookies, simple cakes, and “one-bowl” bakes with big flavor and minimal stress.
Everyday techniques
Small skills that change everything — crisping, roasting, seasoning, and building flavor in layers.
Meet Emma & Ben
Emma
Recipe writer • Tester • Food stylist
Emma is the one who rewrites a recipe until it reads like a calm friend talking you through dinner.
She’s obsessed with cozy textures, bright herbs, and the kind of desserts that feel nostalgic even when
they’re brand new.
Known for: creamy soups, small-batch baking, and making “simple” taste special.
Ben
Flavor chaser • Technique nerd • Dish-duty hero
Ben is all about the “why” behind the method — the heat level, the timing, and the little steps that deliver
restaurant-level flavor at home. If there’s a sauce to reduce or a crust to perfect, he’s in.
Known for: golden sears, marinades, and turning pantry staples into something bold.
Fun facts
- Our “test kitchen” is also our real kitchen — which means real life interruptions and real results.
- We judge a recipe by two things: would we make it again, and would we serve it to friends?
- We keep a running list called “Next Time” — tiny tweaks that become big improvements.
- If it can be prepped ahead, we’ll show you how.
