Meet Devon Burke: The Recipe Developer Who Proves You Can Cook Anything
Hey there, fellow kitchen rebels!
I’m Devon Burke, the food blogger and recipe developer behind Half Drunk Fully Baked, where kitchen chaos meets delicious results, and every recipe comes with permission to break the rules.
Born and raised in California, now stirring up trouble in Arizona, I’ve been a self-taught cook surviving on trial and error my entire life. Friends and family have been begging me to share my recipes for years, and I finally caved. Turns out, all those kitchen disasters actually taught me something: you can absolutely cook anything, and I’m here to prove it.
As a recipe developer specializing in comfort food with a rebel twist, I create family recipes that work for real life, messy kitchens, picky eaters, and all. Whether you’re craving nostalgic comfort food or looking to tackle something that seems impossibly fancy, I’ll show you how to make it approachable. No scary techniques, no pretentious ingredients, just good food that actually works.
The Chaos Crew
My kitchen adventures are “supervised” by my husband Tyler and our two boys: 3-year-old Wyatt (my official sous chef and chaos coordinator) and 10-month-old Wesley (chief taste tester and mess maker). They keep things interesting—like when Wyatt demanded I recreate the chocolate cake from Matilda for his birthday. Spoiler alert: we nailed it.
What Makes Half Drunk Fully Baked Different
I’m not here to intimidate you with perfect food styling or impossible techniques. This Arizona food blogger believes that every recipe is just ingredients having a party, and everyone’s invited. I demolish kitchen intimidation one recipe at a time, proving that if I can nail beef Wellington while slightly tipsy and managing toddler chaos, you’ve absolutely got this sober.
My approach? Fearlessly approachable cooking with a wink. I treat croissants and cereal with equal respect—both are just food you can absolutely make. No gatekeeping, no judgment, just permission to experiment and the confidence that comes from knowing someone’s got your back when things get weird.
Let’s Cook Together
Whether you’re a fellow parent looking for family recipes that won’t break you, a cooking rebel ready to try something new, or a brand looking to partner with an authentic voice in the food space, you’re in the right place. I’m building something special here in Arizona, and I’d love for you to be part of the journey.
