Hey there, I'm Emily Roz
I am a cook, recipe developer, cookbook author, food nerd, and travel enthusiast with a lifelong love of cooking, exploring, eating, and helping others make deliciously simple food.
I have one goal: to convince you that cooking is simple, trying new ingredients is fun, and yummy food is really not that hard to make.
Dinner doesn't have to be boring
Most of us eat the same five dinners on repeat. Not because we're lazy or we don't like food, but because by 6pm after a long day, the tried-and-tested option wins, and anything more interesting feels like it needs a free afternoon and a shopping list of things you can't pronounce.
Well, I'm here to tell you it doesn't. I grew up across several countries in Europe, worked in a handful of professional kitchens, and have travelled across the world to South America, China, India, and beyond. Everywhere I went, people ate with variety — not because they had more time or better kitchens, but because cooking what they loved was simply normal. And variety isn't just more exciting to eat. A wider range of plants, herbs, spices and grains on your plate tends to mean a happier gut, which is a lovely excuse to buy the ingredient you've never tried before.
So that's what I do here. I take inspiration from the flavours I grew up around and the ones I've picked up on the road, and transform them into something you can cook after a long day.
How I got here
I picked up a part-time job as a breakfast chef alongside a marketing career — and realised food was the thing I actually wanted to do.
I set up Myriad Recipes to demonstrate my love for cooking (my goal was to get a job with a food magazine). BUT, my community grew past 200,000 within a few months and just kept growing.
The website launched, and I began working as a part-time chef at an award-winning restaurant to keep learning.
A published cookbook, hundreds of recipes, a weekly newsletter, and an incredible community of over 900,000 homecooks.

Asked A Lot
Absolutely, I have a number of time-based and simple recipes. Check out my recipes that take under 20 minutes and under 30 minutes only!
I have a number of recipes that are more time-consuming or for someone who loves being in the kitchen (like me!!). For example, this Vegan Baozi (Steamed Bun) is a fun and delicious snack to make. Or you could try out this Sri-Lankan inspired Black Pork Curry, it's full of flavour and such a crowd-pleaser.
Yes! Although I don't follow a plant-based diet, I have a lot of vegan and vegetarian recipes. Also, even in my meat-based recipes, I always try and provide a vegan alternative in the recipe variations section. For example, with this Shakshouka-inspired Sardines & Eggs recipe, I've provided a vegan recipe variation suggestion for those following a plant-based diet. I always try to be as inclusive as possible in all my recipes.
Myriad is an English word that essentially means "multitude" or "countless". Hence, Myriad Recipes, because this page is all about providing a countless number of exciting recipes inspired by every corner of the globe.
