About me

Welcome to Hopscook, your go-to spot for simple, delicious, and wholesome recipes that bring joy to every kitchen. I’m thrilled you’re here—let me tell you a little bit about who I am and why I started this blog.

Who I Am

Hello! I’m Hope, the heart and soul behind Hopscook. As a lifelong food lover and self-taught home chef, I’ve spent years experimenting with flavors in my cozy Boston kitchen. With my signature blond hair tied back and a wooden spoon in hand, I turn everyday ingredients into family-favorite meals.

My Culinary Journey

Early Beginnings
Growing up in the US, I was surrounded by diverse flavors, fresh produce, and plenty of home-cooked traditions. From helping my grandmother bake apple pie to sneaking berries from the garden, my love for food was born at the family table.

Modern Twist
As I traveled and discovered cuisines from Italy to Thailand, I blended those global flavors with my American roots. The result? Fusion-style recipes that are both comforting and adventurous.
