Meet My Best Friends – The Heart Behind Some of CookPlates’ Best Recipes
Some friendships feel like fate, and that’s exactly how I met Ella, Sophie, and Chloe. We were just moms, navigating the chaos of early mornings, dropping off our little ones at daycare and preschool, sharing quick smiles and rushed goodbyes. But between the lunchboxes, backpacks, and sleepy-eyed hugs, we found something unexpected—a deep friendship built on laughter, motherhood, and, of course, a shared love for food.
What started as small talk at school pick-ups soon turned into playdates that smelled like fresh-baked cookies, weekends filled with homemade meals, and endless recipe swaps. Our kitchens became our escape, where we could be more than just moms—we could be creators, storytellers, and memory-makers.
Each of these incredible women brings her own flavor to the table, and I’m so lucky to share their recipes with you!
Meet Ella – The Comfort Food Queen 🍲
Ella is the kind of person who makes you feel at home the second you walk through her door. With her warm personality and an apron that always seems to have a little flour on it, she’s the queen of cozy, feel-good meals. Her kitchen is a place of slow-cooked stews, buttery biscuits, and the kind of dishes that wrap you up like a hug.
She’s a proud mom of two wonderful kids—a sweet, creative daughter and an adventurous little boy who keeps her on her toes. Between school runs and bedtime stories, she finds comfort in baking, kneading dough, and recreating the dishes her grandmother used to make.
When you see a soul-warming, homey recipe on CookPlates.com, chances are it came straight from Ella’s kitchen!
Meet Sophie – The Flavor Explorer 🌍
Sophie has an insatiable curiosity for flavors, and it shows in everything she cooks. She’s the one who always wants to try something new, whether it’s a unique spice, an unexpected ingredient, or a dish from a far-off country. Her recipes are a celebration of bold flavors, vibrant colors, and a little bit of adventure on every plate.
She’s a devoted mom to three beautiful kids—two lively boys and a little girl with a love for helping in the kitchen. Whether she’s balancing school schedules or planning family dinners, she never loses her excitement for reinventing classics and turning everyday ingredients into something magical.
If you love exciting, flavorful twists on traditional dishes, you have Sophie to thank!
Meet Chloe – The Sweet Tooth Baker 🍰
Chloe is the reason our group always has something sweet to end a meal! Her passion for baking is contagious, and she believes that every day deserves a little treat. From fluffy cakes to delicate pastries and gooey cookies, her creations bring joy to anyone lucky enough to try them.
She’s the proud mom of two adorable kids—a little girl who loves decorating cupcakes and a boy who insists on being the official taste tester. Between school projects and bedtime stories, Chloe finds peace in the rhythm of baking, the scent of vanilla, and the joy of sharing homemade desserts.
If you ever find a dessert recipe on CookPlates.com that makes you smile, chances are it came from Chloe’s collection!
