We’re Laura and Alex, the creators behind Modern Flavour

About Modern Flavour
We met during our first semester at Queen’s University while studying Business. Fun fact, we actually lived in the same residence and started dating in first year, so we experienced our entire university journey together. Looking back, it’s hard to believe that what started as a university romance would eventually grow into a shared passion for cooking and creating.
Like many people, our love for cooking really took off during the COVID years. Back home with more time in the kitchen, we started recreating some of our favourite restaurant meals. One recipe in particular changed everything: eggs Benedict. After countless weekend breakfasts, we finally perfected it, and realised we actually preferred our homemade version to anything we’d order at a restaurant.
That was the moment we discovered something we still believe today: some of your favourite meals don’t need to come from a restaurant. With fresh ingredients and approachable techniques, you can create them right at home.
Our Philosophy
At Modern Flavour, we believe cooking should feel exciting, not intimidating.
Our goal is to make recipes that anyone can cook, whether you’re making dinner after work, hosting friends on the weekend, or simply trying something new. We want every recipe to be one you’ll come back to, not because it’s trendy, but because it genuinely tastes great.
To us, “Modern Flavour” is about taking the intimidation out of cooking. Great food doesn’t need a long ingredient list or complicated techniques. It should be approachable, enjoyable, and something that brings people together.
More Than Just Recipes
Every recipe you see here starts the same way, with something we genuinely want to eat again.
We don’t publish recipes just to keep up with trends or fill a content calendar. If it isn’t something we’d happily make for ourselves, our family, or our friends, it doesn’t make it onto Modern Flavour.
Our recipes are inspired by the meals we love, from Italian classics to fresh Mediterranean dishes and bold Asian-inspired flavours. They’re designed to help you recreate restaurant favourites and discover new ones, all with the confidence to make them in your own kitchen.
Looking Ahead
Modern Flavour began as a creative outlet, but it’s grown into something much bigger.
Our dream is to build a community of passionate home cooks who love gathering around good food. As we grow, we hope to inspire not only what you cook, but the feeling that comes with it, slowing down, creating a welcoming home, and finding joy in the everyday moments shared around the table.
Thanks for being here. We hope Modern Flavour inspires your next meal, and the many that follow.
