About The Gentle Stir
Meet Amanda
Your Home Cooking Guide
Hi! I’m Amanda, and I started The Gentle Stir to help you make cooking easier, faster, and more enjoyable without sacrificing flavor. Whether you're a new home cook or a seasoned meal-prepper, this site is your go-to source for recipes that actually work and tools that are worth your time.
I believe home cooking doesn’t have to be complicated. Every recipe on this site is tested in a real kitchen using affordable, practical tools, and if I wouldn’t use it in my own meals, I won’t recommend it here.
What You’ll Find Here:
✔️ Weeknight-friendly recipes that taste like takeout
✔️ Baking that’s easy enough for beginners
✔️ Kitchen tools that make cooking faster, not fussier
These are the products I personally use and love. They’re simple, affordable, and designed to make your time in the kitchen easier.
