My Story: The Face Behind THF

 Hi, I’m Sonia, the founder of THF.

My relationship with food and health has been a journey of discovery spanning over 15 years. What started as a personal quest to understand nutrition and wellness evolved into this comprehensive recipe collection that serves thousands of home cooks today.

The Evolution

Like many people, I spent years struggling with my relationship with food and weight. I tried countless diets, experienced the frustrating cycle of losing and regaining weight, and felt overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice. Sound familiar?

My turning point came when I shifted focus from restriction to nourishment. I began exploring various approaches to eating – from low-fat and calorie-focused diets to paleo, and eventually to plant-based eating. Each phase taught me something valuable about nutrition, cooking, and what it means to eat well sustainably.

What began as a simple online food diary to track my own recipes and discoveries gradually grew into something much larger. I realized that sharing these culinary experiments – the successes and the learning moments – could help others navigating their own food journeys.

The Shift

A few years ago, my perspective on food expanded beyond personal health to include environmental and ethical considerations. This led me to embrace plant-based eating and sparked a deeper passion for showcasing how delicious and satisfying this approach can be.

However, I recognize that everyone’s path is different. The diverse recipe archive you’ll find on THF reflects this reality – it’s a honest record of culinary exploration that serves people wherever they are in their own food journey.

Today

THF has grown from a personal food diary into a trusted resource for home cooks seeking quality recipes across various dietary approaches. While my current focus centers on plant-based cooking, the site maintains its comprehensive collection because I believe in meeting people where they are.

Every recipe you see here was developed in my home kitchen using real ingredients and photographed as it actually turned out. No corporate test kitchens, no styling tricks – just genuine home cooking that works.

My hope is that somewhere in this collection, you’ll find recipes that fit your life, inspire your cooking, and maybe even expand your culinary horizons.
