About me
Hi, I’m David
Food has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. After spending more than 30 years working in restaurants, I developed a deep appreciation for meals that bring people together.
FoodnService started as a way for me to share the kinds of recipes I love most — comforting meals that are simple to make, dependable, and perfect for everyday cooking.
Today the site helps home cooks find easy recipes, helpful kitchen tips, and meal ideas that actually work in real kitchens.

Behind the approach
My Story
Before starting FoodnService, I spent decades working in restaurants ranging from casual family dining to fine dining kitchens. Those years taught me how ingredients work together, how to build flavor, and how to create dishes that people genuinely enjoy eating.
That experience shapes every recipe I test and publish today. My goal is always to make recipes approachable for home cooks while still delivering great flavor, without overly complicating ingredients.
