Steven Records

I founded Gourmade to share gourmet recipes that you can make at home. I was sick of the "quick & easy" recipes that were constantly a let down. So I decided to share my restaurant quality dishes that is also somewhat health conscious. It's food you can feel proud to serve your family and friends. I am based in Springfield, MO with my wife and 2 kids.

Strawberry Spinach Salad

This fresh strawberry spinach salad strikes the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and nutty. Tossed with a light strawberry poppyseed dressing, toasted pecans, and creamy goat cheese, it’s a vibrant side or light meal that feels like summer in every bite.

Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry

This beef and broccoli stir fry delivers the perfect mix of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. Tender beef, crisp veggies, and a glossy soy-oyster sauce come together for a quick, restaurant-quality meal you can make any night of the week.

Spicy Chicken Lettuce Cups

These Asian chicken lettuce cups are a quick, healthy weeknight meal inspired by Thai larb. They pack all the bold, savory flavors of the classic dish — without the extra steps. Made in one pan and served in crisp lettuce leaves, this “cheater’s larb” is light, satisfying, and bursting with fresh toppings that take it to the next level.

Fennel Apple Salad with Parmesan & Candied Walnuts

Fennel Apple Salad with Candied Walnuts & Shaved Parmesan

A rustic ceramic bowl filled with thinly sliced fennel and crisp green apple ribbons, tossed with slivers of celery and curls of parmesan. Cinnamon candied walnuts rest on top like little golden gems. Bright lemon zest is scattered across the surface. The background includes a halved lemon, a wedge of parmesan, and a mandolin off to the side. Natural daylight highlights the freshness and texture of every ingredient.
