About

Welcome To

Oh Sweet Basil

 We are so glad you are here!

When we started this site almost 20 years ago, it was inspired by the belief that food shared between people is about far more than the food itself, it’s about the hands and hearts sharing in it. Wherever you are in life there is joy to be found around a table filled with quick and easy recipes that will become traditions and moments that last long past tomorrow.

 Whether it’s finding the quickest 20 minute recipe or the perfect Christmas dinner tradition that will have your kids homesick for Mom’s cooking or creating something totally new and crave able for friends around the table, our recipes will help you create the life and connection you’re craving.

What We Do

 After almost 20 years of recipe development we have perfected the dance of the the kitchen. Every recipe is obsessively tested to figure out what works, what doesn’t and what tips and tricks our readers can depend on to get dinner on the table without stress and always ending in deliciousness. You can find all of our tried and tested recipes on the site, social media and BONUS-exclusive recipes, ideas and fun in our newsletter!


Eat the first slice of warm bread fresh from the oven. Invite the neighbors to dinner. Put the kids on the counter next to you while you mix the cookie dough and yes, always lick the beater.

Make time. Simplify.

And always share your recipes.


Meet the Team

Our talented team members, like our readers, are like family to us.
