Hello! Welcome to Foxes Love Lemons.
If you’re looking for simple yet special recipes that have been tested by a culinary school graduate, you’ve come to the right place.
Foxes Love Lemons is known for restaurant-quality recipes that are guaranteed to be reliable. Some of our popular recipes include creative salmon dinners, delicious slow cooker ideas, spooky Halloween food, and party platters anyone can make.
About The Blog
Foxes Love Lemons was launched in early 2013. Since then, we’ve published over 700 recipes.
The goal was, and still is, to share recipes that take the techniques and tricks that Lori learned in culinary school and use them to make the best dish possible at home.
The recipes you’ll find here use everyday ingredients and have easy-to-follow steps. While there are a handful of “Sunday afternoon recipes” – something to tackle on a day off – most recipes are weekday appropriate.
We’re not afraid of salt, acid and butter around here. In fact, the #1 way to make your home-cooked food taste more like the restaurant food you love is to just salt it a little more.
Every recipe has been tested multiple times to be sure the measurements and cooking times are exact, the flavors are spot on, and it’s something you’ll absolutely be able to re-create in your home kitchen.
Hundreds of thousands of people visit this site every month, and our Home Chef Tips aim to increase each cook’s confidence in the kitchen with every recipe they try.
Lori Yates, Founder & Recipe Developer
Lori Yates is an award-winning recipe developer, and the leader of a small team behind this blog.
She was born and raised in southeastern Michigan, and she grew up eating all of the Midwestern classics – Kraft mac and cheese, potato salad made with lots of mayo, and buckeyes for Christmas.
A degree in Communications from the University of Michigan led her to a career in media planning, where she slowly started to realize that the best part of her day was going home and cooking something interesting for dinner.
So she quit, and enrolled at one of the nation’s top culinary schools (she’s a Schoolcraft College Ocelot!). Sure, she had to wake up at 4 AM, and wear hideous checkered chef’s pants and paper hats, but she learned to make all the culinary classics from some of the best chefs in the country.
Since graduating, she’s run this blog, and worked as a freelance recipe developer and food photographer. She lives with her husband and daughter in the Detroit area.
Lindsay Evers, Photographer
Lindsay Evers is an experienced food photographer and recipe developer, specializing in creating stunning recipe images with step-by-step photography that makes cooking approachable and fun. Lindsay lives in Southeast Michigan with her husband and their two teen daughters. When she’s not in the kitchen or behind the camera, she can be found hiking with her family, or at the barn riding her horse, Big Al.
