About CookinCity

CookinCity is a home-cooking site run by Jaron Kimhi from his kitchen in Tel Aviv. No agency, no test team, no rotating guest chefs — just one cook, 20+ years of kitchen work, and 166 recipes he has cooked, tested, and photographed himself.

The idea behind the site is simple: write recipes the way a friend who cooks would actually give them to you. Real quantities, real timings, honest opinions about what matters and what doesn't, and a little bit of personality along the way. No sponsored content, no AI-written fillers, no "may or may not" hedging.

What you'll find here

Mostly main courses, pasta, stews, baking, and a few weekend projects. International by default — French, Italian, Middle-Eastern, Japanese, Brazilian dishes sit side by side, because that's actually how home kitchens work.

Every recipe includes ingredient quantities, step-by-step method with times where they matter, nutritional estimates, and a Cook Mode that keeps your phone awake while you're actually cooking.

How we work

Recipes are written once, tested, and updated when the technique or timing improves. Every recipe shows its publish date and its last-modified date. If something in a recipe is wrong, tell us — we fix it and note the change.

For the full story on how we test, when we update, and where we stand on conflicts of interest, see the Editorial Standards page.
