Jo Thomas

Jo Thomas is the founder of RecipeWanted and brings more than 10 years of practical kitchen experience to the platform. His background covers a wide range of professional food environments, including pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, function venues, fine dining operations, barbecue kitchens, fish and chip shops, and high-volume catering settings. Jo’s cooking approach is built around clear technique, reliable structure, and real-world usefulness. He has worked across multiple styles of food, from British staples and roast dinners to Asian, American, African, European, and globally inspired dishes, always focusing on how recipes can be understood, adapted, and cooked with confidence. Alongside hands-on cooking, Jo’s experience includes kitchen organisation, service flow, team leadership, menu planning, food preparation systems, and practical problem-solving under pressure. RecipeWanted reflects that management-led kitchen mindset: recipes should be clear, tested in structure, easy to follow, and supported by useful cooking education rather than filler or trend-led content. Through RecipeWanted, Jo focuses on building a practical cooking reference for home cooks, developing chefs, and anyone who wants to understand food more clearly — from everyday meals and core techniques to ingredients, substitutions, food safety, equipment, and confident kitchen decision-making.
