Hey there! I’m Sophia, the chef, storyteller, and food-obsessed mind behind Simply Home Recipes. If you love home-cooked meals that bring people together, you’ve come to the right place.

My Journey with Food

For as long as I can remember, the kitchen has been my happy place. Some of my best memories are tied to food—watching my family gather around the table, sneaking bites of cookie dough, or learning the magic of a perfectly seared steak. Cooking became my way of expressing love, creativity, and a little bit of mischief (because, let’s be honest, the best recipes often start with a little improvisation).

I trained as a chef and spent years perfecting my craft in professional kitchens, but deep down, my passion has always been home cooking—the kind that feels effortless but tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. That’s why I created Simply Home Recipes—to bring you dishes that are big on flavor, simple to make, and always worth gathering around for.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog is for anyone who loves good food, whether you’re a seasoned home cook or someone who just figured out how to boil water (hey, we all start somewhere!). My goal is to make cooking feel fun, stress-free, and a little bit exciting.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Recipes that just work – No fluff, no fancy chef talk—just clear, tested, and foolproof recipes.
• Comfort food, with a little twist – Think classic dishes with unexpected flavors and creative spins.
• Healthy-ish options (because balance matters) – I love a fresh, nourishing meal just as much as a gooey, indulgent dessert.
• Kitchen tips & hacks – Because sometimes, the right trick makes all the difference.

Why I Cook

For me, food is more than just something we eat—it’s about the connections we make around it. It’s about the smell of fresh bread filling your home, the joy of nailing that tricky recipe, and the shared laughter over a table of good food. I believe that home cooking should feel welcoming, not overwhelming, and I want to help you create meals that bring warmth to your table.
