About Me – Sophie Bennett

Hi, I’m Sophie Bennett, the heart behind Top Choice Recipes. I live in Austin, Texas, and my passion for food started long before I began blogging. Growing up in a lively kitchen, I watched my mom and grandmother cook comforting meals that always brought our family together. Those memories shaped my belief that food isn’t just about eating it’s about connection, love, and creating moments that last.

My Story

From family dinners to experimenting in my own kitchen, I’ve always felt at home around food. Over time, I started giving traditional comfort recipes a healthier twist meals that made me feel energized without losing the cozy flavors I loved. When I moved to Austin, I fell in love with the city’s vibrant food scene and began sharing my creations with friends. Their encouragement pushed me to open my blog, where I could reach even more people who wanted recipes that are simple, nourishing, and delicious.

Today, I balance my time between developing recipes, styling and photographing food, and connecting with readers who are on their own cooking journey. For me, it’s not just about recipes it’s about telling the stories behind them and making cooking at home feel joyful, not stressful.

My Style of Cooking

  • Healthy Comfort Food – meals that feel cozy and familiar, while being nourishing.
  • Wholesome & Approachable – recipes you can make even on your busiest days.
  • Flavor-First – I never compromise on taste.

What I Love

Outside of the kitchen, you’ll find me:

  • Growing fresh herbs and vegetables in my home garden.
  • Practicing yoga to keep balance in my life.
  • Visiting farmer’s markets every weekend for inspiration.
  • Capturing food through photography and sharing it with my community.

My Mission & Vision

My mission is simple: to make home cooking easy and joyful for busy people. My vision is to inspire you to connect with your loved ones around the table, with food that feels good and tastes even better.

My Motto

“Wholesome recipes, made simple.”
