Hetty McKinnon

When your work has become part of millions of people's kitchens, your website should feel just as thoughtful as your recipes. Hetty Lui McKinnon partnered with us at Wonderly to create a digital home that prioritizes generosity over algorithms, transforming years of recipes into an intuitive, beautifully organized resource designed to help people cook.

Branding • Website Design & Development • Email Marketing Design

Context

Hetty's audience had grown far beyond what her previous website could support. Recipes were difficult to browse, discovery relied heavily on search or social media, and the experience didn't reflect the warmth and intentionality of her brand. She wanted to invest in an owned platform that would outlast changing algorithms while remaining true to her philosophy of making vegetable-forward cooking approachable for everyone.

Solution

Rather than designing around content management, we designed around how people actually cook.

Every decision centered on making recipes easier to find, easier to follow, and more enjoyable to return to. We developed an intuitive recipe taxonomy that lets visitors browse by ingredient, season, meal type, or mood, created a visual system inspired by Hetty's editorial style, and introduced playful custom illustrations that brought personality throughout the experience without distracting from the food.

Behind the scenes, we also built the technical foundation for long-term growth, optimizing the WordPress site for the Raptive advertising network while preserving a reading experience that feels calm, intentional, and welcoming.

This is where pasta becomes a love language.

Illustration

To make the website feel unmistakably Hetty, we created a collection of 100% human-made illustrations inspired by the ingredients that define her cooking. Each vegetable was thoughtfully illustrated across all four seasons, allowing readers to browse recipes visually while celebrating the natural rhythms of seasonal cooking.

Beyond improving navigation, the illustrations bring warmth, personality, and delight throughout the experience. They transform a functional recipe index into something expressive, reinforcing Hetty's belief that cooking begins long before a recipe is chosen.

Website

We designed a website people actually want to cook from.

Instead of overwhelming visitors with endless categories and clutter, the experience invites exploration. Readers can browse by ingredient, season, dish type, or mood, discover new favorites, and move seamlessly into distraction-free recipes designed for real kitchens. Every detail, from the custom illustrations to the generous whitespace to Cook Mode, was crafted to feel calm, functional, and unmistakably Hetty.

Hetty 5

“Having always managed my own branding and web design, handing over the reins felt like a huge leap of faith. However, working with Allie Lehman and the Wonderly team immediately put those anxieties to rest. From day one, they established absolute trust. They didn't just build a site; they took the time to truly listen, ask questions, and understand the heart of my story. Throughout the entire process, I felt like a true partner rather than just a client, constantly benefiting from their wisdom and experience. The result is a website that far exceeds anything I could have imagined. I finally have a website that accurately reflects my entire story and ethos. I am so grateful.”

Caroline Chambers

We partnered with Caroline Chambers to rebrand What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking into a full brand ecosystem. We defined her visual identity, designed and developed her website, and created a cohesive Substack design system that supports her rapidly growing community of over 610,000 subscribers. The goal was to unify her platforms under one confident, craveable brand while building the structure needed to scale subscriptions, partnerships, and product offerings.

Branding • Website Design & Development • Substack Branding & Post Design Assets

Context

Caroline had built enormous momentum around her newsletter, What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking. It had grown into a full ecosystem, including paid tiers, a robust archive, live cooking demos, brand partnerships, and a bestselling cookbook. Her audience was massive and deeply loyal, but the brand needed greater refinement and cohesion across platforms.

The Substack experience, website, visual identity, and promotional assets all needed to feel unmistakably Caroline: colorful, confident, and warm, while also supporting continued growth, monetization, and long-term scalability.

Solution

We built a brand and digital system that felt as satisfying as her recipes: layered, joyful, and incredibly functional. Every touchpoint was designed to reinforce clarity, personality, and value. The result is a cohesive brand world that feels effortless, even though every detail was intentional.

Branding

Caroline’s brand needed to feel vibrant and fun, but grounded. We leaned into soft pastels, bold food-forward imagery, and typography that feels friendly and confident. The identity mirrors her cooking style: unfussy but impressive, comforting yet elevated.

Website

The website was designed as both a marketing engine and a conversion funnel. We clarified her offers and organized them into an intuitive and joyful experience. The structure supports discovery while driving subscription growth. It feels abundant, like her archive of recipes, but not overwhelming.

Substack Branding

We transformed the What to Cook posts into a fully realized brand experience. We designed a What to Cook logo that pairs seamlessly with her primary Caroline Chambers logo, along with flexible title graphic templates her team can continue to use and evolve. We created in-post headers, custom separators, and supporting visual elements that bring structure and personality to every recipe. We also designed thoughtful extensions, like a printable recipe PDF, to increase usability and perceived value. Each Saturday delivery now feels intentional and premium, elevating “what to cook” into a ritual her subscribers genuinely look forward to.

Hailee Catalano

We partnered with Hailee Catalano to design and develop a digital home for her growing recipe platform. As a trained chef turned content creator, Hailee’s mission is simple: make restaurant-quality food feel achievable at home. We built a website, illustration system, and email experience that reflect her warmth, expertise, and belief that cooking should feel fun, not intimidating.

Website Design & Development • Illustrations • Email Design

Context

Hailee’s audience discovered her through TikTok and Instagram, where her approachable teaching style and chef-level technique quickly built a loyal following. As her recipe library expanded and media features grew, she needed a centralized, searchable platform that could house her recipes, support her cookbook, and deepen connection with her audience beyond social media.

The challenge was creating a site that felt as inviting and clear as Hailee’s videos while also adding structure, discoverability, and long-term scalability to her growing brand.

Four photos: a platter with assorted vegetables and eggs, people serving pasta and salad, a slice of cake on a plate, and three parfait desserts in glass cups. | Wonderly

The Solution

The website was designed to prioritize clarity and usability while maintaining a warm, editorial feel. Clean layouts, generous spacing, and strong food photography allow each recipe to shine, while intuitive filtering and search functionality make exploration effortless. Built with mobile use in mind, the site supports real-time cooking with features like Cook Mode and easy-to-follow formatting. The result is a digital experience that feels supportive and practical, like having a chef in your kitchen guiding you step by step!

Illustrations

We knew Hailee's cookbook would have illustrations before the book was published so we developed a set of hand-drawn illustration elements that add texture and personality throughout the site. This helped tie in the aesthetic from her cookbook, By Heart, seamlessly.

Email Design

We also designed a cohesive email template system to support Hailee’s monthly newsletter and recipe updates. The emails extend the website’s visual language into the inbox, using thoughtful hierarchy, warm color moments, and clear calls-to-action. Designed for readability and engagement, the templates help transform casual followers into a connected, returning community.

The Pasta Queen

We partnered with Nadia Caterina Munno, known to her audience as The Pasta Queen, to create a digital presence that feels as bold, expressive, and unmistakable as she is. From brand identity to website to email design, the goal was to build a cohesive visual world that could support her growing platform while capturing the drama, humor, and confidence her audience loves.

Context

Nadia’s brand was expanding quickly across multiple channels, from her cookbook and TV show to products, a membership, and digital content. She needed a visual system that could bring everything together and give her team consistency as the brand continued to grow. The public website also needed to act as a central hub while still feeling full of personality and presence.

Solution

We created a full brand system for The Pasta Queen that blends elegance, playfulness, and a touch of theatrical flair. This included a logo suite, custom patterns, and illustrations that carry across platforms. We brought that identity into a new public website designed to feel immersive and expressive, along with email templates that extend the brand into her audience’s inbox. Together, the system gives her a recognizable, flexible foundation that can grow with her.

Branding

The identity leans into Nadia’s signature mix of glamour, humor, and Italian heritage. We designed a bold logo along with custom patterns and illustrated details that give the brand texture and personality. These elements help everything feel cohesive, whether it’s a product launch, a recipe drop, or a promotional moment.

Website

The public website was designed to feel like stepping into Nadia’s world. It guides visitors through her recipes, shows, products, and membership while keeping her voice and energy front and center. Rich visuals, layered typography, and expressive graphic elements help the site feel lively and confident without overwhelming the content.

We also created templates for her free newsletter so the brand extends seamlessly into the inbox.

The result is an email experience that feels polished, recognizable, and fully on-brand.

GrossyPelosi

We partnered with Dan Pelosi of GrossyPelosi to create a brand and website as dynamic as his world. A website that could house recipes, guides, cookbooks, media, affiliate products, and a deeply engaged community all in one place. The goal was to design a digital home that felt warm, nostalgic, and unmistakably Grossy while also functioning as a powerful business engine behind the scenes.

Branding • Website Design & Development • Email Design

Context

Dan’s platform had evolved far beyond recipes. Between bestselling cookbooks, seasonal guides, media appearances, live events, product collaborations, and his Grossery List, he needed a centralized ecosystem that could support multiple revenue streams and content types without feeling overwhelming.

The challenge was building a site that could do a lot (affiliate linking, cookbook promotion, searchable recipes, newsletter growth, press features, guides, and merch) while still feeling like a cozy Italian-American kitchen where everyone is welcome.

Solution

We designed and developed a multi-layered website that balances personality with performance. The new GrossyPelosi.com organizes Dan’s expanding universe into intuitive pathways: recipes, guides, cookbooks, press, shop, and The Grossery List. Behind the warmth and humor is a powerful backend structure that supports affiliate revenue, email capture, product launches, and content discoverability. The result is a platform that feels joyful and nostalgic on the surface, but strategically built for growth underneath.

Branding

The branding embraces Dan’s “gay Pinterest Mom” persona: sentimental, celebratory, and a little cheeky. Bold typography, nostalgic color cues, playful badges, and layered graphic moments reflect his love of tradition and storytelling. The identity system supports everything from cookbook launches to holiday guides, allowing the brand to flex seasonally while staying instantly recognizable.

Website

The website was built to carry complexity without sacrificing clarity. We developed a searchable recipe system, structured seasonal guides, press and media archives, cookbook promotional modules, and integrated newsletter capture throughout. Every page is designed to feel inviting and warm while guiding users toward meaningful actions like ordering a book, exploring a guide, shopping favorites, or joining the Grossy mailing list. It’s editorial in feel, but strategic in execution.

We built a flexible structure that allows for easy updates, categorized browsing, and seamless affiliate linking. It transforms personal recommendations into a meaningful revenue stream while maintaining the authenticity and trust his audience relies on.

Turkuaz Kitchen

We partnered with Betül Tunç of Turkuaz Kitchen to create a refined brand and website that reflect the heart of her work: food rooted in tradition, beauty, and storytelling. Known for her cinematic baking videos and bestselling cookbook, Betül needed a digital home that could hold recipes, travel, product recommendations, and long-form storytelling while preserving the warmth and intention that define her world.

Context

Turkuaz Kitchen is more than a recipe platform - it’s an immersive expression of heritage, craft, and quiet luxury. Betül’s content blends old-world technique with modern storytelling, creating a deeply loyal audience drawn to both her recipes and her aesthetic. As her platform expanded to include a New York Times bestselling cookbook, travel content, and curated recommendations, she needed a cohesive visual system and digital experience that felt elevated, timeless, and distinctly her.

The challenge was building a site that felt as artful as her photography and video content without sacrificing usability or structure.

Solution

We developed a visual identity and custom website that bring Turkuaz Kitchen’s sense of romance and refinement into a cohesive digital space. Drawing from natural textures, muted tones with bright accent pops, and heritage-inspired details, the brand system feels classic yet contemporary. The website balances editorial storytelling with functional clarity, allowing recipes, cookbook promotion, travel features, and product recommendations to live seamlessly together. Every element was designed to feel intentional and grounded.

Back to all Projects

Molly Baz

We first partnered with Molly Baz in 2021 to bring The Club, her fast-growing recipe membership, to life. After outgrowing Patreon, Molly needed a custom platform where her brand, voice, and creativity could shine. Wonderly designed and developed a self-hosted WordPress site powered by Memberful and Mailchimp, giving her complete ownership of her content, audience, and revenue.

Services

Website Design & Development • Memberful Integration • Content Migration• Email Design for Membership Communication • Marketing Creative & Ad Design • Ongoing Support & Enhancements

Context

Molly’s membership began on Patreon, where she quickly built a large and loyal audience. But as her following grew, the platform’s limitations became clear. She needed more control over how recipes were displayed, how members interacted, and how subscription revenue was managed. A custom website wasn’t just a design refresh, it was a strategic move toward owning her audience, supporting richer content, and building a more reliable and scalable revenue engine.

Solution

Wonderly created a fully custom WordPress platform tailored to the way Molly cooks, writes, and connects with her audience. The new site features seamless Memberful integration for subscription management, a streamlined workflow for publishing a fresh recipe every Friday, and community tools like comments and member suggestions that keep engagement high. We migrated her archive from Patreon, introduced a more intuitive and cooking-friendly recipe layout, and connected everything to Mailchimp to power automated onboarding, weekly sends, and retention-focused email flows. We designed branded membership emails that extend The Club’s visual identity and create a cohesive experience from site to inbox. Since launch, we’ve continued supporting Molly’s team with enhancements and creative campaigns, allowing The Club to grow without constraints.

The Membership

Each week, members receive a new Molly recipe, complete with step-by-step instructions, photography, and an active comments section that sparks conversation, feedback, and requests. We also designed the weekly email templates that announce each drop, keeping the experience consistent and unmistakably Molly. The Club has evolved into a lively, food-forward community space and a central pillar of Molly’s digital business model.

The Club is now one of Molly’s most dependable and lucrative revenue streams, supported by a platform that gives her full control over her audience and long-term growth. Engagement remains consistently strong thanks to weekly recipe drops, a clean editorial system, and built-in community features that encourage connection. Moving off Patreon strengthened retention, expanded creative flexibility, and provided a digital home that can evolve with new content formats, campaigns, and the continued growth of Molly’s brand.

Alix Traeger

Wonderly partnered with Alix Traeger to create a bold, personality-forward brand and website that reflect her signature approach to cooking: joyful, approachable, and never too precious. Known for her viral BuzzFeed Tasty videos and her debut cookbook Scratch That, Alix needed a digital home that could house her evolving brand world while feeling unmistakably her.

Branding • Website Design & Development

Context

As Alix’s platform expanded beyond viral recipe videos into publishing, long-form storytelling, and original content, her brand needed room to grow. She was launching her debut cookbook, building a presence across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, and developing deeper connections with her audience. The challenge was creating a cohesive identity that could unify these touch points while preserving the humor, warmth, and relatability that made her audience fall in love with her in the first place.

The brand had to feel vibrant and expressive, but still structured enough to support commerce, partnerships, and long-term growth.

Solution

We developed a colorful, high-energy visual identity and custom website that celebrate Alix’s “embrace the mess” philosophy. From bold typography and playful graphic elements to intentional layouts that guide users through recipes, videos, and product recommendations, every decision balances personality with usability. The site serves as a central hub for her cookbook launch, original content, and community engagement, adn is designed to grow alongside her evolving creative career.

A little chaos. A lot of flavor.

Branding

Alix’s brand identity leans into saturation, movement, and a little bit of chaos in the best way. Ink splatters, curved text treatments, layered color moments, and expressive typography reflect her humor and spontaneity, while still maintaining consistency across platforms. The logo system captures her playful confidence, creating a recognizable mark that feels equally at home on a cookbook cover, a website header, or a social post. The result is a brand that feels human, lively, and unmistakably Alix.

Website

We designed and developed a custom website for Alix that acts as both a content engine and a personality showcase. The layout supports multiple content streams, from cookbook promotion to videos and curated product recommendations, without feeling overwhelming. Bold visuals and dynamic graphic shapes create rhythm and movement, while intuitive navigation keeps everything easy to explore. The result is a digital home that feels as joyful and inviting as cooking in Alix’s kitchen.

Katie Parla

We partnered with Katie Parla to redesign her website so it aligned with the visual identity of her newest cookbook, Rome. We had originally designed her previous site to match Food of the Italian Islands, so this project was about evolving the digital experience while staying true to the core of her brand. The goal was to create a site that felt as rich and thoughtful as Katie’s work itself. It needed to reflect her expertise, her connection to place, and the visual world of the new book.

Website Design & Development

Context

Katie’s work spans books, tours, editorial writing, and events, so her website acts as the central hub for everything she does. With the release of Rome, she wanted the site to reflect the book’s warmer palette, expressive typography, and more organic design language. This was not a full reinvention of her site, but a natural evolution. The aim was to bring the website into the same visual world as the new book while also improving flexibility for her expanding body of work.

Solution

We redesigned the site using warm, sun-washed tones, layered typography, and soft organic shapes inspired by the book’s design. The layout leans heavily on type so Katie’s voice and storytelling stay front and center, while subtle graphic elements add personality.

The result is a website that feels editorial but welcoming. It works as a companion to the book, a travel resource, and a home base for her brand, all in one place.

For Katie, food is never just food. It’s history, place, people, and story all layered onto the plate, and her world invites you into all of it.

Website

Katie’s website now brings together her books, tours, writing, and shop in one cohesive experience. The design balances structure with warmth, making it easy to navigate while still feeling personal and immersive.

It reflects not just her latest book, but the broader world she has built through her work, one rooted in research, storytelling, and a deep love of Italian food culture.
