Hi, I’m Lara — the heart behind Gratis Recipes!
Cooking is my happy place, and sharing that joy with you is what keeps this site alive. Everything on Gratis Recipes is created with love—from the cozy family recipes to the practical kitchen tips I’ve picked up over the years. To keep this passion project going (and ad-free for you!), I sometimes use affiliate links on this site.
Here’s what that means:
When I link to a product—like a kitchen tool I genuinely use or a spice I swear by—and you click and buy it, I may earn a small commission. But don’t worry, you won’t pay a penny more. That commission simply helps cover the cost of running the site, testing recipes, and keeping the oven on (literally and figuratively).
I proudly partner with trusted programs like Amazon Associates, Walmart, Target, and a few select others. But I want to be crystal clear:
I only recommend what I truly believe in. If I wouldn’t use it in my own kitchen, it won’t be on this blog. Period.
This is my way of staying honest with you. No gimmicks. No fluff. Just real ingredients, real tools, and real love—for food and for this amazing community.
By supporting Gratis Recipes through these affiliate links, you’re helping me continue to share free recipes that (hopefully) make your day a little more delicious. I appreciate you more than you know.
If you ever have questions or want to know more about any recommendation, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to chat food, tools, or anything in between.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for cooking with me. ❤️
