About Keri
Keri started Shaken Together in 2011 as a creative outlet where she shared her love of recipes and crafting. Over the years she grew this little corner of the internet into a thriving website. But as with many things, life changes and in 2019 Keri was ready to move on to her next big project, luckily she knew the perfect person to carry on her passion for Shaken Together!
About Melissa Riker

Our AI (Artificial Intelligence) Policy – 2024
With the advent of ChatGPT and other AI technologies, we have noticed a startling rise in recipe websites created entirely of AI images and recipes. As a home cook, this is an awful trend.
Recipes created by AI are not tested by real humans and bound to be a disaster in the kitchen. At Shaken Together Life, we promise to only share kitchen-tested recipes created by REAL HUMAN recipe developers. Our photos are real photos as well, whether taken by myself or one of our talented photographers.
