The Heart of Home

Hestia is the goddess of the hearth, the quiet heart of the home, and the keeper of domestic rhythm.

She reminds us that the small, everyday acts - a shared meal, a family recipe, a moment of pause - can shape the feeling of a home.

At Hestia, these moments are gathered into a living archive. Recipes that are cooked, repeated, and carried forward through everyday life.

Ritual in Practice

At Theophora, ritual is a way of grounding yourself in the present moment.

A meal can be more than a preparation - it can be a pause, a point of connection, a quiet return to your space.

Some Hestia recipes include optional rituals to support mindful cooking and eating, woven naturally into the process.

The Intent of Hestia

Hestia exists to preserve recipes as they are lived - not as static records, but as part of an ongoing domestic legacy.

To keep recipes in use.

To make them easy to return to.

To carry them forward through everyday practice.
