About - Women grill Recipes

Hello, I’m Clara Maggio

Hi! I’m Clara, a 37-year-old home cook, grill lover, and the voice behind Women Grill Recipes—based in New York, USA. I started this site to make cooking feel doable on busy weekdays and fun on the weekends—whether you’re turning on the oven, firing up a skillet, or heating the grill.

I grew up in a kitchen where dinner was the way we connected. Over the years I’ve tested hundreds of recipes, learned the power of a well-seasoned cast-iron pan, and discovered that great food doesn’t have to be complicated. Here, I share the recipes I actually make: simple, flavorful, and designed to fit real life.

My Cooking Philosophy

Flavor first, fuss free. Smart shortcuts, no unnecessary steps.
Use what you have. Swaps are welcome; I’ll suggest them.
Seasonal when possible. Fresh produce = easier wins.
Progress over perfection. Your kitchen, your pace.

Recipe Testing & Notes

I test each recipe in a home kitchen, the same way you’ll cook it. Oven and grill temps can vary, so I include visual cues (golden edges, internal temps, texture) to help you nail it. Nutrition info is an estimate; always check labels and cook meats to safe internal temperatures.

A Few Fun Facts

Team cast-iron forever (stovetop → oven → grill).
I keep a “house spice blend” in a jar for quick weeknights.
Favorite easy dinner: lemon-garlic chicken with roasted veggies.
Ideal weekend in New York: friends on the patio, a simple marinade, and the grill going low and slow.
