About
How can I tell when my roast chicken is cooked? How big should those diced potatoes really be? And what does “cook until brown” really mean, anyway?
Welcome to Jessie’s virtual kitchen!
Not sure what to expect when you’re making a new recipe? Let Jessie show you. Literally.
Most cookbooks display a picture of the finished dish, followed by thick paragraphs of instructions. The Hungry Mouse is a visual guide to food and cooking, and does just the opposite—relying more on pictures than words to demonstrate a recipe.
Jessie’s signature, step-by-step photo recipes are designed to show you what each stage of cooking looks like. So you know just what you’re in for before you step into the kitchen—as well as when you’re in front of the stove.

Who is The Hungry Mouse?
Jessie is not a trained chef. She just loves to cook—and write. (It’s really that simple.) Her nickname is Mouse, or more formally, Miss. Mouse. You can figure the rest out.
She’s worked in the food industry, written restaurant reviews, published hundreds of articles, and edited a handful of books. (Ask her about the time she interviewed Second Lady Tipper Gore at the White House.)
Jessie’s recipes and food photography have been featured in Bon Appetit magazine, Saveur magazine, Serious Eats, Apartment Therapy’s The Kitchn, The New York Food Examiner, The Hostess with the Mostess, not martha, and Sew Mama Sew. Her pictures have been published on Foodgawker, Tastespotting, and Photograzing.

Her work has also appeared on Citysearch.com, The Daily Beast, The Chicago Sun Times, Chefs.com, The Southtown Star, Tana’s Habitat, Boston & New York Digital Industry, The Boston Phoenix, Corrections Today, MyStudentBody.com, InsideADHD.org, and Best Weekends.
When Jessie’s not busy shopping for cheese or baking pies, she runs Cake House Creative, a freelance consulting practice, and works as an ad agency creative type. (Want to work with her?)
Where is The Mouse House?
The Hungry Mouse lives just north of Boston in Salem, Mass., with her husband, The Angry Chef, and Dexter, the Barking Sous Chef. These are her cookbooks.
Does The Barking Sous Chef really help in the kitchen?
Well, sort of. Here he is, caught enjoying a (very) rare treat.
