About Dr. Appetite
Dr. Appetite is an independent recipe publication run by a small in-house editorial team. We write, test, and edit every recipe we publish — no scraped content, no republished posts, no guesswork. Our goal is simple: reliable recipes that work the first time.
Our Mission
We believe that great food should be accessible to cooks of every skill level. Our recipes are written to be clear, reliable, and honest — precise measurements, realistic timing, and the kind of small-but-important details (when to rest the meat, why the oil matters) that turn a recipe from passable to excellent.
How We Work
Every recipe goes through the same cycle: research, drafting, test cook, editor review, and publish. Our editors use AI tools to assist with drafting and research, but every recipe is cooked and reviewed by a human before it ships. For the full breakdown — including how we use editorial personas as bylines and what AI does and doesn't do — see our editorial standards.
Recipe Standards
- Every recipe is test-cooked in a home kitchen before publishing
- Prep and cook times reflect actual test-cook timing, not idealized estimates
- Substitution options are provided for common dietary needs
- Ingredients are listed with precise weights and volumes
- We do not display fabricated ratings, review counts, or view counts
A Note on Our Bylines
You'll see recipes attributed to bylines like Maria Santos or James Chen. These are editorial personas — not individual people. Each represents a cuisine area covered by our team. We explain this openly on our editorial standards page. In structured data, all recipes are attributed to Dr. Appetite as the publishing organization.
