Susan, founder of Susan Recipes

Hi, I’m Susan. I’m a home cook based in Tennessee with a lifelong love for traditional American cooking, comforting family meals, and recipes that bring people together around the table.

I started Susan Recipes on May 29, 2016, as a place to collect and share the dishes I love—from Southern comfort food and slow-cooked classics to family desserts, breads, appetizers, and simple weeknight dinners.

More than 3,000 recipes have been published on Susan Recipes, creating a growing cooking library for home cooks looking for approachable inspiration.

My Cooking Philosophy

I believe good food does not need to be complicated. The best recipes are clear, dependable, and made with ingredients people can find easily. My goal is to preserve the warmth of traditional cooking while making every recipe practical for today’s home kitchen.
