The Builder

Built by Sean Burton - a professional chef with 20 years in commercial kitchens, from line cook to Head Chef to Culinary Instructor at the Culinary Institute of Canada. Double gold medalist at the 2016 Culinary Olympics representing Team PEI. MBA in Global Leadership.

Mise at Home draws on two decades of industry experience to help home cooks create with confidence - while saving money and wasting less.

The Story Behind Mise at Home

For twenty years I cooked professionally - training teams, managing kitchens, and learning what it takes to turn ingredients into something people remember. I changed menus, trained cooks, fought to protect ingredients from becoming waste. In the kitchen, waste was never just a number. Every ingredient tossed represented a cost we failed to control and a meal we failed to make.

When I left the kitchen and earned my MBA, I saw the same problem from a completely different angle. Households waste more than $1,300 of food every year. Not because people don't care - because nobody gave them the tools to do better.

Mise at Home is the app I wish every home cook had. It takes the thinking out of meal planning, helps you cook from what you already have, teaches you techniques the way a chef would, and builds your grocery list around meals you've actually planned to make. No wasted food. No wasted money. No wasted effort.

I built this because the kitchen - whether professional or personal - is where the math is real. And everyone deserves tools that make sense of it.
