How It All Started: From Cooking with Family to CookingHub
How It All Started: From Cooking with Family to CookingHub, a recipes, educational, and social platform operated by CookingHub Foundation. Tom the Chef Founder How It All Started: From Cooking with Family to CookingHub In 2019, Tom Slepicka established his blog on CookingwithFamily.com to share his recipes and passion for food. As Cooking with Family grew, it connected Tom with many people and provided him with an outlet to express his love for cooking. As the community expanded, Tom realized that a better approach than merely publishing recipes and receiving feedback would be to create a space where everyone has equal opportunities. A place where individuals can share recipes, cooking techniques, opinions, and communicate with others. This realization led to the birth of the idea for CookingHub and the initiation of work to develop the platform. CookingHub: Connecting Food Lovers of All Levels From its inception, CookingHub has been designed for anyone who loves food—from beginner home chefs to seasoned professionals. The belief is that everyone has valuable insights to offer simply by sharing. From For-Profit to Fighting Hunger: CookingHub Embraces Non-Profit Status Originally, the idea was for CookingHub to be a for-profit venture that would generate revenue, with a portion donated to charitable causes, particularly to combat hunger. However, after further reflection, Tom and his team decided that since fighting hunger has always been CookingHub’s core mission, it made more sense to start as a non-profit organization from the outset. This approach will help better communicate the mission to all users and generate even more funds for charitable purposes. CookingHub: Immigrant Founder’s Mission to End Hunger, Inspired by Family’s Past As an immigrant to the USA, Tom feels incredibly fortunate to have never experienced hunger himself. His family, however, was not so fortunate during the years before and during WWII, and their stories have had a profound impact on him. This is why Tom feels a strong compulsion to give back, and it serves as the driving force behind CookingHub and the CookingHub Foundation.
