Hi, I’m Elle Rivers
I’m the home cook behind Elle’s Recipe — a cozy corner of the internet where recipes are meant to feel comforting, clear, and doable in a real home kitchen.
I don’t have a chef’s jacket or restaurant stories. I cook at home, just like you, and I share the recipes that actually make my days better:
Something warm in the oven,
a simple dinner that works every time,
a dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell good.
If you like food that feels relaxed and low‑stress, you’re in the right place.
What You’ll Find on Elle’s Recipe
On Elle’s Recipe you’ll mostly find:
- One‑bowl baking
- Easy weeknight dinners
- Soft, cinnamon‑leaning desserts
- Pantry‑friendly recipes
- Cozy, simple flavors
Every recipe is:
- Tested in my own home kitchen
- Written with clear, straightforward instructions
- Designed for real life — busy weekdays, not just weekends
My goal is that you always know what to expect
and feel calm following along.
When I write a recipe, I talk to you like I would to a friend:
- If there’s a shortcut that works, I’ll mention it.
- If a step looks harder than it is, I’ll tell you.
- If I had to test something more than once to make sure it behaves, I’ll share that too.
A Little Backstory
My love for cooking didn’t appear overnight. It grew slowly over time:
- The first cake that didn’t sink in the middle
- A soup that finally tasted right
- Watching someone relax after the first bite of something warm
Eventually, I realized I kept coming back to one idea:
Cooking doesn’t have to be fancy to feel special.
That’s really what Elle’s Recipe is about — simple, cozy recipes that fit into real life and still feel like a treat.
