I’m Angus Young, founder and publisher of Cooking Perfected and Slow Cooking Perfected. I live in beautiful Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
I am passionate about creating easy-to-follow, delicious recipes that anyone can cook. Whether you are a beginner in the kitchen or an experienced home cook looking for inspiration.
My mission is to make cooking simple, enjoyable, and approachable. From deliciously easy air fryer meals to hearty weeknight dinners, I focus on recipes that are packed with flavor but don’t require complicated techniques or hard-to-find ingredients.
In my spare time you will find me gaming, gardening, hobby farming, or spending time on our rural property where I manage animals, grow food, and keep things running with a bit of home automation. I also enjoy traveling and love exploring new cuisines and food cultures around the world (Japan is a favorite!).

More About Me
- Early Passion for Cooking: My love for cooking began in childhood, experimenting in the kitchen and learning from a variety of recipes. I was fascinated by how simple ingredients could transform into something delicious. Today, I pour that same passion into creating recipes and cooking content that’s perfect for everyday meals.
- Other Hobbies: When I’m not working on Slow Cooking Perfected or Cooking Perfected, you’ll find me gaming, tinkering with home automation, coding, gardening, or traveling. I also run a tech website, where I share tutorials on a huge range of tech projects.
Whether you’re here to master the air fryer, try something new for dinner, or just get inspired, I’m glad you stopped by. Happy cooking!
