About Old Mate Eats
Hi, I’m Sara and welcome to Old Mates Eats!
I created this blog as a home for all my recipes, a place where anyone who finds me on social media can easily come back and cook them too. I’ve always loved feeding the people around me, friends, family, even the neighbours down the road, and this is my way of feeding everyone. From hearty dinners to fresh baking and something a little wild from the bush, it’s all about bringing good food to the table.
Here you’ll find a mix of:
- Everyday dinners that are simple, filling, and full of flavor.
- Baking recipes that anyone can whip up (yes, even the fails taste good).
- Wild game dishes because cooking what you catch is part of who I am, and it’s what makes Old Mates Eats a little different.
For me, food isn’t just about eating… I love cooking as a way to say thanks, dropping off baking as a surprise, or gifting meals to the people I care about. Sharing food is how I show love, and Old Mates Eats is where I can share that same love of food with you.
Why Old Mates Eats?
The name comes from my partner, known on my socials as “Old Mate.” He’s the one I cook for the most, the first taste-tester of all my experiments, and the one who gives me honest (sometimes more honesty than I asked for) feedback on my food.
But, Old Mates Eats isn’t just about him…it’s about creating recipes that real people eat, enjoy, and give their opinions on. My hope is that you’ll become part of that too, trying the recipes and sharing your own thoughts along the way.
Food for me is all about keeping it real: meals you’ll actually cook, with ingredients you can actually find, and recipes you’ll want to make again.
Thanks for being here, mate. Grab a plate, have a browse, and if you want to keep up with new recipes, don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter (or follow along on socials).
Happy cooking, mate!
