About Minnie Taylor

So what is Minnie Taylor?

Minnie Taylor is an online magazine, specializing in providing information, resources, and recipes to make it easier for people of any skill level to entertain at home. It is the brain child of it's founder, Samantha Guthrie, who after years in the corporate world, trying to juggle a busy work life while still regularly entertaining at home, set out to see if there was an easier way. Recognizing that there was a gap, we started Minnie Taylor to fill that void.

What makes Minnie Taylor different from other Entertaining and Recipe Websites?

Minnie Taylor is more than just a website providing recipes. We are committed to providing "tried and true" techniques, information, and recipes for our visitors, with an emphasis on making it easy, so that you can have fun entertaining at home.

Everything on Minnie Taylor has been tested in real homes by real people. Before any recipe is added to or referenced from our website, it is tested in a home kitchen, just like anyone else's - not in a corporate test kitchen by a crew of culinary savvy testers. We provide tips to help you when preparing dishes, or based on the testing, comment on what to watch out for, so there are no surprises. The resulting intent is that anyone should be able to confidently pick up any recipe on the website and make it - no matter what their skill level is in the kitchen.

We also provide product and book reviews, to help advise you which are useful in your kitchen or home, or which to probably leave at the store.

But most importantly, Minnie Taylor is about pulling everything together - we give you all the information or what we like to call "Inspiration", to pull off a successful party, whether it be for four guests or twenty-four guests.

Core Principals

While we appreciate professionals and foodies alike, we understand that not everyone has the time or wants to be one. But that doesn't mean that you can't put on a wonderful dinner party with great tasting food. Our core principles are our guide and we would like to share them with you:

• Entertaining at home has to be fun otherwise there is absolutely no point in doing it.
• There are no rules, just guidelines.
• Learn something new and pass it on.
• Doing something simple well, is better than failing at something complicated.
• Use your imagination and dare yourself to push the boundaries.
• It's not the destination, it's the journey, so have fun every step of the way.
