About Maw Maw's!

Hey there! Pete here, creator of the Maw Maw's app AND the grandson of the actual Maw Maw!

If I'm being honest, this app was initially created because my wife and I were constantly complaining about recipe blogs. (50 ads, 50 images, 3,000 words, and a recipe that may or may not deliver? Lame.)

We both prefer old-fashioned cookbook layouts & recipe cards, but you don't usually carry those around with you, so OUR OWN recipes are hard to share!

That, and current recipe apps kinda stink at simply gathering your FRIEND'S recipes.

Like--I care infinitely more about cooking something I've ALREADY HAD--rather than something I found on some influencer's TikTok.

So alas. The wife and I wanted our own little solution, and lucky for her, I know how to code 😉

Our Mission (do we have to have one?)

First of all--this isn't some massive company. It's just me and my wife. And I do most of the work.

That said, I suppose there is actually a mission here...

To spread joy and enjoy food.

Oh, and PUT LESS NO F&*KING ADS into the world.

That's seriously it.

My wife's family has always cared about food, and it truthfully wasn't until I met her that I really experienced this. I mean--I enjoyed eating, but that's not the same as enjoying food.

• Trying new restaurants
• Trying new recipes
• Trying new ingredients
• Trying new cooking techniques

Oh, and talking about it WHILE you're at the dinner table eating, of course (Seriously, that's basically all we talk about at the table.)

So if we can built something that helps other people love food as much as we do, then spending countless hours on this app will be worth it 👍

Pete's Favorite Food

is Pizza.

Oh, you enjoy pizza? WELL I LOVE IT.

• I once toured Italy for 2 weeks and ordered pizza EVERY TIME it appeared on the menu.
• I once tracked every slice of pizza I ate for an entire year (graphic below)
• I've had New York pizza in NYC, apizza in New Haven, neapolitan in Naples (Napoli), Chicago deep dish in Chicago, Detroit style in Detroit.
• I also own Do You Even Pizza?
• If it weren't for pizza, I'd be healthy af. I seriously eat pretty healthy outside of pizza.
