Ellen Cooks
Hi, I’m Ellen Britt — the heart and hands behind Ellencooks.ca!
Welcome to my kitchen and my cozy corner of the internet, where flavor, creativity, and homemade comfort food come together. This cooking blog is my space to share the joy of home cooking through simple, fresh, and delicious recipes made with care.
Why I Started Cooking
My passion for food started early. I was the curious kid always hovering near the stove, eager to see what was sizzling in the pan or bubbling in the pot. Whether I was flipping through family cookbooks, scribbling down recipe ideas, or helping prep dinner at home, cooking quickly became my favorite creative outlet — and my favorite way to connect with others.
Join Me in the Kitchen
I created Ellencooks.ca to bring together the easy recipes I’ve been dreaming up, testing, and refining over the years. From comforting one-pot dinners and rustic soups to playful desserts and flavorful side dishes, my recipes focus on fresh ingredients, seasonal produce, and that extra touch of inspiration that turns everyday home-cooked meals into something special. Whether you’re looking for quick family dinners, healthy weeknight meals, or creative twists on classic recipes, you’ll find something here that’s approachable, satisfying, and full of flavor.
Cooking is my way of telling stories — and every dish on this site is a reflection of that. I love sharing simple dinner ideas, experimenting with textures and bold flavors, and making meals that feel both nourishing and joyful. Whether you’re just starting your journey in the kitchen or looking for a new go-to favorite, I hope this site offers you the kind of cooking inspiration that gets you excited to be in the kitchen. From homemade comfort food to light and fresh recipes, my goal is to help you find dishes that make everyday cooking a delight.
