FAQ

Find quick answers to the most common questions about Recipe Globe Trot, our three expert authors, and what makes our no-bake recipe approach unique. Whether you’re wondering about our testing process, dietary accommodations, or how to get started as a beginner cook, we’ve got you covered.

Recipe Globe Trot is written by three passionate food experts, each bringing their unique perspective to no-bake cooking:
Sarah Chen is our kitchen scientist from Portland, Oregon. A former pastry chef turned food blogger, she focuses on the technical side of cookingโ€”explaining why recipes work and how to troubleshoot when they don’t. Perfect for precision bakers who want foolproof results.
Maria Rodriguez writes from Austin, Texas, sharing warmth and wisdom from her family’s culinary traditions. Inspired by her grandmother’s recipes, Maria specializes in budget-friendly, accessible cooking that brings families together around the table.
Zara Saffron, our founder, bridges her Italian heritage with American innovation from her Portland kitchen. Having grown up in her family’s Tuscan trattoria, she brings authentic cultural fusion and encourages culinary experimentation.

Absolutely! While our writers bring professional expertise, they write for home cooks of all skill levels. Sarah explains the “why” behind techniques so you can understand what you’re doing, Maria focuses on simple, accessible methods, and Zara encourages experimentation without fear. Look for our “Beginner-Friendly” tags, and don’t hesitate to start with our foundational recipes.

No-bake recipes are perfect for busy home cooks who want delicious results without the fuss. Whether you’re dealing with hot summer weather, a broken oven, limited kitchen space, or just want quick treats for unexpected guests, no-bake desserts and dishes are lifesavers. Our authors have all learned (sometimes the hard way!) that no-bake doesn’t mean no-skillโ€”these recipes require their own techniques and understanding to get right every time.

Yes! Our writers understand that everyone’s kitchen and dietary needs are different. You’ll find recipes and modifications for various dietary restrictions, budget constraints, and ingredient availability. Sarah often includes scientific explanations for successful substitutions, Maria shares budget-friendly alternatives, and Zara brings international ingredient swaps from her cultural fusion experience.

Every recipe on Recipe Globe Trot has been tested in real home kitchens with real constraintsโ€”not perfect studio conditions. Our writers share their failures alongside their successes, explain the science behind techniques, and offer practical substitutions for hard-to-find ingredients. Plus, you’ll get cultural insights and family stories that make each recipe more than just a list of instructions.

We publish new content weekly, with each author contributing their unique perspective on seasonal ingredients, occasions, and techniques. We love hearing from our community! You can suggest recipe ideas, ask questions about techniques, or share your own cooking experiences through our contact page or social media. Some of our best content has come from reader questions and requests.
