Meet Ellen Summerbell — a 52-year-old home cook, creative foodie, and proud mum of two, living in a quiet small town in Australia where life moves a little slower… but the flavors don’t.

Ellen has loved cooking for as long as she can remember. From family dinners to last-minute gatherings, she’s always been the person who brings “just one more dish” to the table — usually something fun, unexpected, and guaranteed to get people talking. She believes food should feel like a celebration, even on ordinary days, and that the best recipes don’t need to be complicated to be unforgettable.

When she’s not in the kitchen testing sweet-and-spicy combos or turning simple ingredients into party magic, you’ll likely find her out on a trail enjoying one of her favorite things: horse riding. For Ellen, those quiet rides are where the best ideas happen — new flavors, bold twists, and playful recipe concepts that later come to life in her kitchen.

Ellen is excited for the future, passionate about sharing her love of cooking, and always chasing that perfect balance of easy, impressive, and a little bit different. Because boring food? Not on her watch.
