Faking It Fancy was created for anyone who’s ever wanted to impress their guests—or just themselves—without crying over a soufflé. We believe that cooking can be stylish without being stressful, and that you don’t need a culinary degree (or a $400 truffle slicer) to make food that looks like it belongs in a magazine.
This webpage is for the home cook who knows how to make toast... and wants to make it look like it came from a bistro brunch board. From fancy-seeming mains to deceptively elegant desserts, each recipe is designed to deliver maximum flair with minimum fuss.
We don’t gatekeep good food around here. If it looks fancy and tastes great, we’re calling it gourmet—no matter how many shortcuts were involved.
So go ahead. Fake it. Make it fancy.
