Few people really understand how it started. There were five of us in the corner of a very corporate floor at the Hearst Tower in NYC. We had a hot plate and a few great ideas. We shot our first viral video—a take on a Harry Potter-inspired Butterbeer—on the floor of a storage closet. There was no bazillion-dollar test kitchen, no TV network, no newspaper legacy to propel us like our competitors: We just wanted to make people smile and share. We said, “You don’t have to know how to cook, you just have to love to eat.”

In a lot of ways, Delish helped define the culinary landscape we live in now, where people are allowed to have FUN with their food. So here we are, 10 years, 30M+ followers, 1B+ video views, 14 cookbooks, 17 magazine issues, 40+ amazing employees, a 3,000-square-foot kitchen studio, and countless amazing moments later. And while the vision remains the same, what keeps people coming back is the food. So we’ve brought together our 100 most loved, shared, and obsessed-over recipes that our fans (and our team) turn to again and again. Because if it doesn’t taste good, what was the point of this whole journey anyway?

delish!
