Welcome to TimeForKitchen
Where simple ingredients come alive with flavor, and every recipe has a story to share. I’m Cathy Hogan, a passionate home cook and the heart behind this cozy little space online. Growing up under the sun-soaked skies of Australia, I’ve always seen food as more than just a meal—it’s a way to connect, create memories, and savor life’s everyday joys.
Our Journey: From Aussie Roots to Global Inspiration
Raised in a family where every gathering centered around the table, I quickly learned that food is at the heart of life’s best moments—whether it’s a cozy weeknight dinner or a joyful celebration. My cooking reflects my easygoing Aussie roots, mixed with a curiosity for global flavors. Here at TimeForKitchen.com, I’m excited to help you create delicious, no-fuss meals that bring people together and make every bite memorable.
Meet Cathy

Here’s a little about me and what drives my culinary journey:
- Rooted in the U.S.: My cooking style is shaped by the heart of American home kitchens—comforting, approachable, and full of flavor. I love using everyday ingredients to make meals that feel special without the fuss.
- Inspired by Variety: American food is a beautiful mix of cultures and traditions. I enjoy exploring those influences and bringing a fresh, personal twist to classic favorites.
- Homegrown Passion: I’m not a professional chef—just a passionate home cook who loves bringing people together around the table. Whether you’re new to cooking or a seasoned pro, my recipes are all about making delicious food simple, fun, and rewarding.
