About Me

I’ve been in the food business for over 20 years as a restaurant cook, baker, cooking teacher, test kitchen manager and restaurant critic. Along the way I sang lead in a rock band, got a master’s degree in literature and was Food Director of Chatelaine. Now, at Claire Tansey's Kitchen, I empower home cooks with recipes to make mealtime uncomplicated. I’m a Cityline guest expert, a columnist on CBC Radio, a teacher, a writer, a working mom and a mediocre knitter.

 

I’m pretty opinionated about food. It should never be fussy or perfect but always delicious. And cooking it should be fun–something to do for pleasure instead of out of obligation.

 

At home in Toronto, my partner Michael and I cook every night. That’s anything from roast chicken to a tuna sandwich. Michael eats everything; our son Thomas does not. But dinner is still the best part of our day.

 

I’d love to hear from you, and I hope you’ll come back soon.

Five-Star Reviews

Uncomplicated changed my life. I used to be intimidated by cooking and didn’t even know where to begin. But with each meal I gained the confidence to try more. I’ve now been dubbed “the best chef in the family.”

Dinner, Uncomplicated is a must-have kitchen resource. Claire brings together simple ingredients, clear instructions and beautiful photos to help you create an uncomplicated, outrageously delicious dinner.”

—Greta Podleski,
bestselling author of
Yum & Yummer

"We use Claire's recipes so much that the kids assume anything yummy is from her—and 99 percent of the time, they’re right! When we eat something delicious, someone will put their fork down and say, “Oh, Claire.”

—Carol F.,
