Welcome to Everyday Culinary Mischief


Oh!  Hello there…. It seems you’re interested in culinary goodness!  Well, you’ve come to the right place.  Just to let you know, though, this isn’t like all those other food blogs, where they will tell you long stories and take forever to get to the good stuff.  This may be one of the longest posts of this whole blog!

When it's recipe sharing time, we’ll give you the process, the recipe, and some great tips and tricks, and save the stories for Booktok and your favorite author.  We’ll try to make things easier than putting together an Enhet from Ikea and keep things just as functional!

Let me introduce myself.  I’m Jonathan, owner and operator of Mischief Cuisine.  We handle private catering, love to share culinary knowledge, and are big fans of fantasy and fiction! (Yep, I’m a nerd!).  Mischief Cuisine also operates its Mischievous Fish brand at Renaissance Faires in the US and offers pop-ups doing Pasta Bars and Concessions (Mischievous Noods and Quick Mischief Concessions).  As a culinary professional, I’ve worked in kitchens on lines, as an executive chef, and everything in between for nearly 20 years.

I started my company in 2022 to allow myself the space to reap the benefits of culinary creativity and realized that whatever I cook usually has a little mischief.

Which brings us to you.  Maybe you’re a fantastic cook looking for some fun new recipes.  Or perhaps you’re just starting cooking (young people, I’m looking at you), and you want to learn some basics.  Or maybe you understand what cooking is, but you think it’s a scary place to be.  Well, here at Every Day Culinary Mischief, we’re going to help you realize that cooking doesn’t have to be complicated, doesn’t have to be intricate, and can be a lot of fun!  

I hope you find this blog an excellent resource for essential knowledge, skills, and recipes and that we can help you make a little mischief in the kitchen for your friends, family, and loved ones.  

Thanks for giving us a shot!  Let's get into it!

Chef Jonathan Lane

For Chef Jonathan Lane, cooking has been a lifetime practice. A familial passion, the art of cooking was handed down from his Italian and Mexican grandmothers. Later, he would attend the Connecticut Culinary Institute where he perfected his craft with state-of-the-art training. After graduating in 2006, Jonathan went on to work in a variety of fine-dining and homestyle establishments, learning new skills and techniques all along the way. Jonathan served as Executive Chef for Student Prince & Fort and Sous Chef in many Connecticut restaurants. He also cooked with Michelin star chefs in Chicago, Illinois.
