From Mama’s Kitchen to Yours — Ellie James of Easy Cooks Recipes
Hi, I’m Ellie James, the cook behind Easy Cooks Recipes! My love for cooking started in my mama’s cozy kitchen on our North Carolina farm, where every meal she made was an act of love.
She taught me that food could comfort, heal, and bring people together—and I’ve carried that lesson with me ever since.
Now, I share those same heartfelt, homey recipes with over a million home cooks, helping others find joy in simple, soulful meals made with love.
You might not know…
I learned to cook from my grandma on our North Carolina farm—long before I learned how to ride a bike.
I never went to culinary school—my training came from Sunday suppers, flour-dusted aprons, and generations of handwritten family recipes.
Let’s stay connected!
I’d love to hear from you—whether you have a question about a recipe, a story to share from your own kitchen, or just want to say hi! The best way to reach me is in the comments of the recipe you’re referencing, but you can also send me a note anytime at [email protected]. I check every message myself, pinky promise!
