i. Biography
By 2021, Meike Peters was hosting *Meet in My Kitchen* in Berlin, but that project sat on top of a longer editorial practice. In 2013, *Eat In My Kitchen* established the core of that work: food blogging expanded into cookbook authorship, food and travel writing, and photography. The result was not a single format but a working method across page, image, and the day-to-day table. Across all of it, the defining signature is clear: German and Mediterranean cooking held in the same frame, with Meike Peters using that combination to give the work its shape.
Coming Up
Since 2013, *Eat In My Kitchen* has been the site where Meike Peters built a recognizable food-blog voice, with precision and warmth carrying the writing. The blog gave the work a stable form: composed, practical, and rooted in home cooking. In 2021, *Meet in My Kitchen* extended that practice into podcasting. The move added another medium without changing the underlying approach, carrying the same kitchen-centered sensibility into conversation and sound.
Where They Are Now
Since 2021, *Meet in My Kitchen* has been hosted by Meike Peters in Berlin, alongside *Eat In My Kitchen*, which she has carried since 2013. The two projects work in parallel: distinct in format, joined by the same editorial line. The blog and the podcast remain separate outputs of the same practice, which has grown steadily while staying focused. German and Mediterranean cooking remain central to the recipes, and that pairing gives the work its direction and internal logic.
Signature
Meike's signature dishes include *Eat In My Kitchen*, *365: A Year of Everyday Cooking and Baking*, and *NOON: Simple Recipes for Scrumptious Midday Meals & More*. Across these titles, the constant is a practical approach to food with a strong visual and editorial sense. The work keeps home cooking accessible while still giving it form and finish, and each title adds another angle on the same ground: recipes meant to be used, not merely read.
In Their Words “My mother has always been my greatest inspiration and teacher in the kitchen.” “I started this blog in November 2013 with the goal—or mission—of sharing one (original) recipe every day for one year.” These lines point to two structural forces in the work: domestic knowledge and disciplined repetition. The first grounds the practice in family cooking; the second explains the editorial rhythm that shaped the project from the start.
Honors
Meike's honors include James Beard Foundation Book Award, General Cooking (2017), Swiss Gourmet Book Award (2024), Gastronomische Akademie Deutschlands GAD Silver Medal, and Gourmand Award. Together, these recognitions trace the reach of her work across food writing and publishing, and mark the steady attention it has earned over time.
