About Mise
Mise en place is the best idea in cooking. Software mostly ignores it.
Professional kitchens figured this out a century ago: the work of cooking is mostly the work you do before the heat comes on. Everything measured, chopped, and lined up. Then service is calm.
Home cooking software went the other direction — endless recipe libraries, infinite scroll, no help at all with the ten minutes that decide whether dinner is pleasant or frantic. Mise is our attempt to put that part back.
Leadership
Who runs Mise
Kevin Po
Co-founder & Chief Executive Officer
Kevin leads product and engineering at Mise, and started the company after one too many weeknights spent scrolling past a childhood anecdote to find the ingredient list. Sets the roadmap, and still writes most of the parser tests.
Lauren von Dehsen
Co-founder & Chief Financial Officer
Lauren runs finance and operations at Mise — pricing, planning, and hiring. Keeps the company honest about what a subscription is worth and makes sure the kitchen stays open long enough to be useful.
What we hold to
Recipes belong to cooks
Your recipes export in a plain, open format on any plan. No hostage-taking, no walled garden.
Fewer taps, more cooking
Every feature has to earn its place on the screen. If it does not help dinner happen, it does not ship.
No dark patterns
One clear price, cancel in two taps, no ads between you and a recipe you already saved.
Come say hello
We read everything — feature requests, recipe sites that break the importer, and arguments about whether a food processor counts as cheating.
