Amanda S

Amanda S is a co-creator of Softly Recipes. She develops and tests recipes in her own kitchen before they are published, with a focus on comforting, family-style home cooking: weeknight dinners, one-pan meals, and simple drinks made from everyday ingredients. Her recipes include tested timings, food-safety temperatures where they apply, and nutrition estimates calculated from USDA FoodData Central. On health-related topics she relies on official sources such as the NIH, and her articles are general information, not medical advice.
