The Writers Behind Mediocre Chef

Mediocre Chef is actually two people — Trevor and Brittany — who aren't professional chefs by any means, but love to cook. Friends since the 8th grade, they've been through hell and back together. And puberty. And that awkward summer where they didn't talk on MSN Messenger at all. After graduating college, they both developed an interest in cooking (and actually had time and money to cook).

A couple of times per month we get together to make a new recipe, learn a new kitchen skill, or procrastinate and just watch YouTube videos or browse reddit and then write a post about it.

Thanks for reading our blog! ❤️

Trevor Stinson Mediocre Chef

Trevor

Trevor is a formally trained mathematician, a self-taught musician, and his culinary knowledge comes from the one home economics class he took in middle school. Also a lot of Gordon Ramsay videos on YouTube. Like, a lot. His favourite recipes tend to be classic French recipes, which often result in a completely mediocre dish that uses every pot, pan, and utensil in his very dishwasher-less kitchen.

You can follow Trevor on Instagram if you want to be as underwhelmed with content as with one would be with his French recipes.

Brittany Zerr, Mediocre Chef Writer

Brittany

Brittany loves recipes that result in the least amount of dishes — slow cooker and one pot recipes are her favorite. If a recipe is cheesy or includes garlic, it’s usually a winner in her books.

Brittany loves to travel and eat all of the food she can while exploring new places. She’s had sushi in Japan (and surprisingly didn’t hate it!), pizza in Naples, and is slowly working her way through Canada’s Top Restaurants.

Her day job is a Digital Marketer at Kick Point, so naturally she does Mediocre Chef’s social media (when she has time) and email newsletter (which you can sign up for below!) She also works on super cool projects such as KP General Store which sells stickers and other cool things that are coming soon™️.

Best Dish: I make a mean hot spinach dip

Favorite Food: I live for pizza, corn on the cob, and poutine

Least Favorite Food: cilantro (it tastes like soap) and most seafood
