Our Story & Standards
Welcome to Skillet & Story, where simple methods meet bold flavor. We publish trustworthy, step-by-step recipes for real weeknights, cozy weekends, and sweet breaks.
Our Mission
Make home cooking easier and more joyful—one reliable recipe at a time.
Every post focuses on clear steps, accessible ingredients, and repeatable results. When we say “weeknight friendly,” we truly mean it: reasonable prep, sensible tools, and techniques you can master.
Editorial Standards (E-E-A-T)
Our recipes reflect hands-on cooking experience, careful testing, and transparent methods. We cite sources when technique or food-safety guidance matters, and we show process notes so you can adapt confidently.
Each post includes: timing and yield, key ingredient notes, tested substitutions, storage & reheating, and troubleshooting tips where helpful.
How We Test
We start with a flavor goal and a simple method. We draft a baseline formula, cook it, and capture timing, temperatures, and yields. Then we iterate: adjust seasoning, streamline steps, and confirm that common substitutions still work.
- Plan: define flavor, texture, time targets.
- Cook: measure, photograph, record doneness cues.
- Refine: reduce steps or tools if possible.
- Verify: note substitutions, storage, and reheating.
- Edit: clarity pass for headings, steps, and tips.

Photography & Nutrition
We shoot our own photos for clarity and accuracy. Unless noted, images show the tested recipe as written. Nutrition values are estimates from common calculators and should be treated as guides, not medical advice.
For allergies or dietary questions, consult a professional and always check labels. Ingredient brands can vary in salt, spice, and moisture—taste and adjust.
