I am the cook behind The Grub Files.

This site has been a long time in the making. I first started food blogging back in 2010 with a site called The Grubfiles: Cooking with Camissonia. Built on a simple Blogger platform, it began as a practical way to keep track of recipes I cooked regularly. These were the kinds of dishes you make more than once, tweak over time, and eventually know by heart.
 

Over the years, that small recipe archive grew into a sizable collection, shared often with family and friends who asked for clearer instructions, better organization, and more variety. As the recipe list expanded, it became clear the site had outgrown its original format.
 

The Grub Files is the next chapter. It is a refreshed home for those recipes, with a cleaner layout, improved functionality, and room to grow. The focus remains the same. Approachable, flavorful food that is meant to be cooked in real kitchens and enjoyed without overthinking.
 

This site is still a work in progress as recipes continue to transition over, with new content and features being added along the way. If it is here, it has been tested, cooked more than once, and deemed worth keeping.

Thanks for stopping by and happy cooking.
