Hi, I’m Vivian Brooks, a recipe contributor at HookedToCook.com. I’m a creative home cook who believes vegetarian cooking should feel fun, fast, and full of personality.
What I enjoy most is turning everyday ingredients into quick meals that still deliver bold flavor, because not everyone has time for elaborate recipes.

My style is flexible and practical. I love remixing classics with a vegetarian twist, building meals around what’s already in the fridge, and sharing simple techniques that make a big difference.
You’ll find recipes with short prep times, clear steps, and options for easy swaps so you can adapt to what you have on hand.

For me, cooking isn’t about perfection, it’s about making dinner work in real life. If you’re busy but still want meals that feel vibrant and satisfying,
I hope my recipes help you cook with more confidence and a little more creativity.
