Meet the Team
Avery Thompson
A home cook from New York’s scenic Hudson Valley. Avery grew up gardening and cooking fresh, simple meals filled with love. After years in busy NYC kitchens, Avery returned home to share easy, heartwarming recipes that make your kitchen your happy place.
Ella Brooks — “Mama Ella”
A small-town Ohio cook whose food feels like a hug. Ella’s recipes are more like friendly suggestions than strict rules. She loves putting her own twist on family classics and reminding everyone that home cooking is all about laughter, stories, and second helpings.
Jack Miller

Ruby Lane
A hopeless romantic when it comes to food. Ruby finds tiny love stories in every meal — from farmers’ market finds to candlelit lunches. Her recipes focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and playful flavors that make everyday dishes feel special.
Sam Rivers
A self-proclaimed leftovers wizard and master of “what’s in the fridge” dinners. Growing up with four siblings, Sam learned to make the most of whatever was on hand — turning pantry staples into budget-friendly, tasty meals that never go to waste.
