About Us – Welcome to Hooked to Cook

We’re Hooked to Cook, a vegetarian and vegan recipe blog created by three friends with one shared goal: to make everyday cooking simple, joyful, and full of flavor.

Our Story

Hooked to Cook started with a conversation around the kitchen table. As three friends who love plant-based food, we often found ourselves trading ideas, tips, and those “you have to try this” moments. Eventually, we realized we wanted to share that same energy with others, and so this blog was born.

We’re not professional chefs, and we don’t think you have to be. Our passion is for real food that feels good to cook, share, and eat. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just curious about meat-free meals, you’re in the right place.

Hooked to Cook is your go-to place for simple, satisfying, plant-based recipes.

A Kitchen for Everyone

What makes Hooked to Cook truly special? You.

This blog isn’t just ours , it’s also yours. We welcome readers to share their own vegetarian or vegan recipes, family favorites, or creative plant-based twists. Whether it’s a genius shortcut or a nostalgic dish made meat-free, we believe everyone has something worth sharing in the kitchen.

What We Believe

At Hooked to Cook, our values shape everything we share. We believe that cooking should feel good, not complicated, exclusive, or intimidating. Whether you’re here to learn, experiment, or just eat well, these principles guide our kitchen and our community:

  • Simplicity: Cooking shouldn’t feel overwhelming
  • Accessibility: You don’t need fancy tools or skills, just a love for good food
  • Kindness: There’s no “perfect” way to eat. We’re here to encourage, not judge
  • Community: The kitchen is a space for connection, whether you’re cooking solo or sharing a meal
