What began as a passion for cooking with family has evolved into CookingHub—a social platform for recipes and culinary education, powered by the CookingHub Foundation
Tom Slepicka FounderIn 2019, Tom Slepicka launched CookingwithFamily.com as a canvas to share his recipes and deep passion for food. As the blog’s following grew, Tom realized that true culinary connection shouldn’t be a one-way street. He envisioned a space that went beyond simply broadcasting recipes—a platform where everyone had an equal voice. This desire to democratize the kitchen sparked the evolution from a personal blog into CookingHub, a collaborative community where individuals can share recipes, techniques, and opinions freely.
Since its inception, CookingHub has been dedicated to bridging the gap between novice home cooks and culinary experts. Our core philosophy is simple: everyone has valuable insights to offer, and the act of sharing them elevates the entire culinary world.
CookingHub was originally envisioned as a for-profit business that would donate a portion of its revenue to combat hunger. However, Tom and his team realized that if fighting hunger was the organization’s heartbeat, the business structure needed to reflect that. By launching as a dedicated non-profit from day one, CookingHub can align every action with its mission, ensuring that resources are maximized for charitable impact rather than corporate profit.
As an immigrant to the United States, Tom feels a deep sense of gratitude for never having known the pain of hunger himself. However, the stories of his family’s struggle for survival during World War II left an indelible mark on his worldview. These generational memories are the catalyst for his commitment to service. They serve as the driving force behind the CookingHub Foundation, turning a personal desire to give back into a tangible mission to end hunger.
