We're here to cook & to have a little fun. And we don't want the same thing for dinner every night! Won't you join us?
Welcome to Foodwhirl!
A little while ago, we had the idea to pull together real cooks like ourselves–who have lives and families, but still want to be creative and fun in the kitchen–and ponder the answer to that eternal question… “What’s for Dinner??” So we found some cool cooks, with different kinds of households, with different types of expertise–with the goal of pooling our inspiration & creativity, providing a resource to like minded cooks, and building a community!
This is not just another recipe site… You know, a like big bank of recipes for you to look up how to cook something (we’ve got Google for that, right?). No, this is a dynamic work in progress, where we’ll be sharing our ideas, recipes, and tips as we go along using them ourselves!
What will you find here? Lunch and dinner ideas, fun and creative sweets, techniques to help you cook and prep more efficiently, entertaining ideas… even tips to help you shop and plan more effectively! {Read More about our categories.}
Want to play along with us? We’ve got lots of recipes and ideas thus far… take a look around the site to see!

I’m known for never making the obvious and never doing the same thing everyone else does. I try to get creative every time I cook and this recipe is no exception. I started cooking without a game plan — I simply started to chop up a few veggies and let the rest happen naturally. It’s a bit scary to cook this way, but sometimes the stars align and this is the beautiful and delicious end result. S…
…..This recipe was sent in by Anda, of La Spelonca Vegetariana. The color of this tart is just gorgeous and springy, isn’t it? From the original site: This is a fresh and nutritious raw pie, filled with spring greens such as wild garlic (ramsons) and with a crust made from soaked seeds. It’s great fur lunch but can also makes a delicious dinner, along with a leafy salad.
I decided to settle in for a classic- The Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake. According to Ak, Nothing beats a Brown, unadulterated chocolate cake. The chocolate chapter in Nigella’s book also begins with this cake- she thinks this cake is the essence of all that is desirable in chocolate. Special Instructions: I would use a little less sugar and little more chocolate Ingredients: 200g flour 1 teaspoon baking pow…
If you love macarons and can’t live without nutella, then this combination is perfect “comfort food” for you with its chewy macaron shells and gooey nutella filling. From the original site: Bake with 4 ingredients…hmmm for me it translated into nothing else but Macarons. For those who follow my posts, pretty much know about the special bond I share with this French beauty. I HA…
I’ve always loved naan, the Indian flatbread. It’s so versatile. I’m sure there are recipes out there to make your own, but I’m not really one for making my own bread, particularly when you can get good bread at the market. The lovely people at Stonefire flatbreads sent me some samples to try* and we really enjoyed them, so I’m sharing a quick review of them here. W…
Republished from April 2010 This weekend is the Kentucky Derby, and last weekend was the Atlanta Steeplechase. To me, this season means Mint Juleps, a refreshing minty alcoholic drink. Easy to prepare, although it does take some prep time. One day in advance make the Mint Simple Syrup and refrigerate. The day of the race, mix up the mint juleps and enjoy! By the way – my money is on Paddy O’Pra…
The lovely folks at Sweet Sally’s were kind enough to send us some samples of their tasty bars for review, and they passed the test with flying colors. The Boy was a big fan of the Rainy Day Fudge Brownies, as you can see! I thought they definitely had a homemade, rather than store bought taste to them. The Romantic Raspberry Squares were a little sweet for my taste–but then, I’m weird when i…
This is a recipe which survived almost 2000 years. It's a lovely herbal omelette with asparagus and subtle hints of wine and olive oil. It's not only ancient but also very healthy, with the addition of the asparagus and the aromatic herbs. This dish is perfect for break
Perfect Spring dessert.The saffron panna cotta came together like a beautiful dream,elegant and smooth. From the original site: There’s something about saffron, something exotic, like a caress, light and beautiful! A tiny bit of this beautiful spice catapults a seem
