Hi, I’m Eleanor Quin, the founder of HookedToCook.com. I’m not a professional chef; I’m a curious home cook who finds joy in vegetables, pantry staples,
and the small rituals that make a meal feel welcoming. I believe plant-based cooking is about abundance, not restriction: bright produce, whole grains,
good olive oil, and a sprinkle of herbs that wake everything up.

Over the years, I’ve learned that consistency comes from gentle habits—tasting as you go, paying attention to heat, and letting ingredients speak for themselves.
I test recipes at home, write clear steps you can trust on busy days, and explain the “why” behind techniques whenever it helps you cook with more confidence.
If a swap makes dinner easier (oat milk for cream, lemon for vinegar), I’ll suggest it.

My recipes lean cozy and practical: soups you can stretch, grain bowls that welcome leftovers, salads with substance, and simple desserts that feel like a hug.
I love cooking that fits real life—weeknight-friendly, budget-aware, and satisfying without fuss.

When wellness comes up, I keep the language careful and practical, and I point readers toward reputable sources when a claim needs external support.
Good information should feel steady, not loud.

Most of all, I want the kitchen to feel calm and kind. If you’re exploring vegetarian cooking for the first time or simply want fresh ideas, I’m glad you’re here.
Let’s make food that tastes good and feels good, one simple recipe at a time.
