I would probably never pound a beef sirloin steak, but I sometimes like to pound a chicken breast or pork steak. Pounding meat with a meat mallet (meat tenderizer) is one of the best ways how tenderize meat — the muscles break and the meat gets a different texture.

The Journey of CookingHub

September 29, 2023

In 2019, I started CookingwithFamily.com because I wanted to share my passion for food. As Cooking with Family grew, it connected me with people all over. People shared with me recipes, stories, and a love of cooking. The more the community grew, the more I realized that I wanted a space where everyone would be able to share this passion for food. The idea for CookingHub was born. While we worked on all aspects of CookingHub, we got the idea to establish CookingHub Foundation, which would operate CookingHub and give proceeds to charities that fight hunger.
