About Velvet

Velvet is an independent recipe site for people who want the method up front and everything measured in metric, not cups.

What you get here

• Metric, always. Grams and millilitres, with standard teaspoons and tablespoons. No cups, no ounces.
• Straight to the point. Ingredients, equipment, numbered steps, and a cook mode that keeps your screen on.
• Honest numbers. Nutrition per serving is estimated from USDA FoodData Central. We flag the EU 14 allergens and add diet tags, both checked against the ingredients.
• Labels you can check. High Protein and Balanced (based on WHO healthy-diet guidelines, not endorsed by WHO) are calculated by the site from the numbers, and every recipe shows its working.

Original recipes

Every recipe is written for this site. Food photos are AI-generated illustrations (created with Grok) and may differ from your result.
