About Us

Mark Jala, Editor and PublisherHello. My name is Mark Jala. I am the editor and publisher of the Home Cooking Guide, and several other culinary related websites.

I love to cook. I guess you could call me a die hard foodie. I love learning about cooking, foods, healthy cooking, quick cooking, and easy cooking. I also love to dabble with gourmet cooking and the art of fine dining.

www.HomeCookingGuide.com is the official blog for several websites, part of the Lakeside Analytics, inc. family of websites.

The purpose of Mark’s posts include:

  1. Share in the fun and great adventure of cooking
  2. Provide actionable advice on gourmet, healthy, easy, and quick cooking styles
  3. Help cooks of all levels improve their cooking through sound and time tested tips, recipes, and instruction
  4. Provide accurate and unbiased information about cooking related products

I hope you enjoy the site. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me through our contact form. See all of Mark’s posts.

I wish you great adventures having fun cooking!


Let me introduce you to the other key members of the staff:

SugarThis is Sugar. She is the resident feline at the Home Cooking Guide.

Sugar is our dessert editor and unofficial taste tester. She gets to lick the plate after the food has been eaten. Depending on how long she stays licking the plate determines how many paws it gets.

As the dessert editor, Sugar gets to write posts about her favorite desserts, what she is trying, and whatever else crosses her mind. She loves yogurt, fish, and of course, desserts. Sugar can be reached at [email protected]. See all of Sugar’s posts.


CorkyThis is Corky. He is our beverage editor and unofficial taste tester for the Home Cooking Guide.

Corky spends much of his time traveling around the region, occasionally finding his way home at the Home Cooking Guide. His love for travel has taken him on a very special Caribbean adventure (as seen in the picture), Washington, DC, West Virginia, and many other areas.

Corky loves to write about beverages and food. Thought to be a vegetarian, Corky has been caught in carnivorous activities, and hitting the hard stuff a little too often.

The next time he makes it back to the Home Cooking Guide, Mark has a very special cooking adventure planned for him. Corky can be reached at [email protected]. See all of Corky’s posts.
