About HomeTable

Bringing families together around the table, one recipe at a time, since 2001.

Our Story

HomeTable was born from a simple belief: the best meals are made with love, simple ingredients, and recipes you can trust. What started as a small collection of family recipes shared between friends has grown into a community of over 50,000 passionate home cooks across America.

Our founder, Eleanor Mitchell, began collecting and testing recipes in her own kitchen in Durham, North Carolina. Frustrated by complicated recipes with hard-to-find ingredients, she set out to create a collection that any home cook could follow with confidence — recipes that use everyday ingredients and deliver extraordinary results.

What We Believe

At HomeTable, we believe that cooking should be joyful, not stressful. Every recipe on our site has been tested by real home cooks — parents, grandparents, and cooking enthusiasts who share your passion for wholesome, delicious food.

By the Numbers
