Hi, I’m Stella – The Heart Behind Easy Cook Meal 🍪
Home baker, storyteller, and your go-to cookie companion
It didn’t start in a test kitchen.
There was no culinary degree, no studio lighting, no team of recipe developers. Just me, a quiet kitchen, a handwritten cookie recipe passed down from my grandmother… and a deep craving for something warm, simple, and made from scratch.
That’s how Easy Cook Meal began — not as a business, but as a love letter to the kind of baking that feels like home.
A Self-Taught Baker with a Soft Spot for Cookies
I’ve always been drawn to the little things — the scent of browned butter, the crinkle of sugar on top of a fresh cookie, the way the house fills with warmth while something’s in the oven.
I never went to culinary school, just like most home bakers out there. I learned by doing — by baking late into the night, by burning a few batches, by tweaking and testing until each cookie turned out just right.
And I still test every recipe in my own home kitchen — no outsourcing, no shortcuts. Just me (and sometimes a curious friend or two) making sure it’s easy enough for weeknights, but delicious enough for company.
What You’ll Find on Easy Cook Meal
This blog is all about approachable baking. That means:
- Step-by-step cookie recipes that don’t assume you know what “cream until fluffy” means.
- Ingredient tips so you actually understand what makes a cookie chewy vs. crisp.
- Flavor twists on nostalgic favorites — think: Almond Chocolate Chip, Lemon Blueberry, and the best peanut butter cookies you’ve ever had.
Whether you’re a first-time baker or someone who’s been baking for decades, my hope is that Easy Cook Meal becomes your coziest corner of the internet — the place you come when you want to bake something simple, soulful, and undeniably good.
Why I Bake
Cookies aren’t just dessert.
They’re a ritual. A way to slow down. A way to share love, comfort, and joy — one batch at a time.
I created this blog to help you fall in love with that feeling. The magic of mixing flour, sugar, and butter together and watching it turn into something unforgettable. The joy of baking not for perfection, but for the moment.
