Meet Hilary Thompson
Hi there, and welcome to The Yum Jar! I’m Hilary Thompson, a passionate home cook, recipe creator, and food storyteller. Cooking has always been my way of connecting with people I love — from weeknight dinners at home to special weekend gatherings with friends and family.
Why I Started The Yum Jar
I created The Yum Jar to share my favorite recipes, kitchen tips, and flavor inspirations with anyone who loves food as much as I do. My goal is simple: to help you create meals that are approachable, satisfying, and filled with joy — no matter how busy life gets.
My Cooking Philosophy
For me, cooking isn’t about perfection; it’s about flavor, comfort, and connection. I believe in using fresh ingredients, simple techniques, and a touch of creativity to turn everyday meals into something memorable.
Beyond the Kitchen
When I’m not experimenting with new recipes, you’ll find me sipping coffee, exploring local markets, or enjoying cozy family dinners. Food, for me, is more than nourishment — it’s a way to celebrate life’s little moments.
