Gourmade is all about bringing gourmet recipes you can make at home

Welcome to Gourmade—home of gourmet recipes you’ll actually want to make at home. I’m Steven Records, and I created this space because I believe cooking isn’t only about getting food on the table—it’s about creating something delicious, satisfying, and memorable.—whether you’re impressing a dinner party, enjoying family time, or just treating yourself.

Why I Started Gourmade

I founded Gourmade to help home cooks elevate their meals without sacrificing taste or excitement. Too many recipes push “quick and easy” over flavor, and I wanted something different—recipes that deliver that “this was such a good meal” experience. Here, we embrace wholesome swaps when they enhance the dish, but never at the expense of bold, satisfying flavor.

Who This Is For

If you:

  • Love cooking and crave meals that feel special, not just practical.

  • Appreciate clear, tested recipes that elevate everyday home dining.

  • Want to bring more joy and confidence into your kitchen routine.

Then you’re in the right place.
