About 5 Mins Recipes

Our Story

5 Mins Recipes was born from a simple frustration: why do most recipes take so long?

We're a team of busy parents, former professional chefs, and food enthusiasts who believe that delicious homemade meals shouldn't require hours of prep and cooking. In a world where time is precious, we set out to prove that amazing food can happen in just five minutes.

What started as a personal collection of quick recipes has grown into a community of thousands of home cooks who refuse to sacrifice flavor for convenience. Every recipe on our site has been tested, timed, and perfected to deliver real results in real kitchens — not just professional test facilities.

Our Mission

We're on a mission to help busy people eat better without spending hours in the kitchen. We believe that:

• Time is precious — and cooking shouldn't consume all of it
• Homemade beats takeout — when it's actually doable
• Simple ingredients — can create extraordinary meals
• Everyone can cook — with the right recipes and guidance

What Makes Us Different

Every recipe on 5 Mins Recipes follows our strict 5-minute rule. If we can't make it in five minutes, it doesn't make the cut. No exceptions.

We also believe in transparency. Our prep times are accurate. Our ingredient lists are realistic. Our instructions are clear enough for complete beginners yet satisfying for experienced cooks.
