Abdelkarim Mamarch

Founder and recipe developer · goes by Karim

Hi, I'm Karim. I'm a home cook, and I started Quick Supper Ideas because most weeknights I want something good on the table fast, without a long ingredient list or a sink full of pans.

I develop and write every recipe on this site. Each one is built for an ordinary home kitchen and has to come together in 20 minutes or less, from the first chop to the plate. I check the prep and cook times step by step and describe what the food should look like when each step is done, so you are not relying on the clock alone.

Every recipe here is halal: no pork and no alcohol. Where a classic version uses bacon, wine or beer, I use substitutes such as smoked paprika, broth or a splash of vinegar, and I say so in the recipe.

I'm not a professional chef. I'm someone who cooks dinner most nights and likes sharing what works. If a recipe takes you longer than stated or something is unclear, please tell me and I'll fix it. You can read more about how the site works on the About page.
