About the Author of the Site
Hi — I’m Lucas Moreau, the voice and hands behind Food is not easy. I started this blog because I believe good food shouldn’t require a culinary degree, hours of prep, or an overflowing grocery budget. I write, test, and photograph recipes designed for real life: busy weeknights, rushed mornings, family dinners, and the moments when you open the pantry and have to make something delicious out of whatever’s left.
My cooking style is practical and honest. I focus on simple techniques, accessible ingredients, and shortcuts that actually save time without sacrificing flavor. You’ll find quick breakfasts that get the family out the door, no-fuss weeknight dinners that come together in 30 minutes, budget-friendly meals that stretch ingredients, straight-forward meal prep strategies, and clever pantry hacks that rescue dinner more often than not.
I’m not a celebrity chef — I’m a home cook who has learned a lot by doing. Over the years I’ve fed picky kids, hosted last-minute friends, and learned how to keep meals tasty and predictable under real-world constraints. Those experiences shape everything I publish here: clear instructions, realistic timing, honest ingredient swaps, and tips to make recipes repeatable rather than intimidating experiments.
On this site you’ll also find resources for planning and prepping: batch-cooking ideas, smart ways to use leftovers, and simple systems to turn chaotic weeks into manageable ones. My goal is to give busy home cooks usable solutions — whether that means a five-ingredient dinner that still feels special or a pantry trick that saves you a grocery run.
I love hearing from readers — your questions, adaptations, and time-saving discoveries help shape the recipes and posts I share. Follow along for practical, stress-free cooking ideas, and don’t hesitate to drop a note if you want help adapting a recipe for dietary needs, a tight budget, or a busy schedule.
Welcome to Food is not easy — let’s make cooking doable, predictable, and delicious.
