The Heart Behind the Kitchen

Welcome to my kitchen! I’m **Lisa Hayes**, the founder and head chef here at Recipes by Mama. For me, cooking has always been more than just feeding people; it’s about connection, heritage, and the comfort of home. This website was born from a desire to share the simple, nourishing recipes that shaped my childhood and now define my family’s dinner table.

My journey started not in a fancy culinary school, but in my own mother’s kitchen. Every recipe on this site is either a cherished family classic or a new, simple creation designed to deliver maximum flavor with minimal fuss. I believe that delicious, heartwarming food should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their busy schedule or kitchen experience.

Our Philosophy: Simplicity and Soul

• **Accessibility:** Recipes are designed to be straightforward, using common ingredients you can find in any pantry.
• **Comfort:** We focus on food that warms the soul—dishes that taste like memories.
• **Reliability:** Every recipe is tested and approved by my own family to ensure consistent, delicious results for yours.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you find something here that inspires you to get cooking!
