Hi, I’m Ella Welcome to Join The Dinner Party !
I’m so glad you’re here. I created this space to share my love of simple, home-cooked meals and the joy that comes from gathering around the table.
Food, for me, has always been about connection laughing with friends over a casual pasta dinner, enjoying a quiet cup of soup with family, or setting out a table full of comforting favorites for the holidays. It doesn’t have to be fancy or perfect just made with care.
You’ll also find little pieces of my Scandinavian roots sprinkled throughout my recipes simple, cozy flavors inspired by childhood visits to my grandmother’s kitchen, where the smell of freshly baked bread and hearty stews filled the air. Those timeless, homestyle dishes from “the good old days” are still some of my favorites to make and share.
On Join The Dinner Party, you’ll discover easy, approachable recipes made for real life. From one-pot weeknight dinners to seasonal favorites and cozy baked goods, everything here is designed to help you cook confidently and bring a little more joy to your table.
So whether you’re cooking for one, feeding your family, or hosting a crowd you’re always welcome at my dinner party.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you stay awhile.
With love,
Ella Hayes
