About Me

Emily baking with her grandmother and kids in the kitchen

Hi, I’m Emily.

My grandma, Eleanor, didn’t just teach me how to bake. She taught me how to love through food. Her kitchen was where I learned that sweetness doesn’t only come from sugar, but from the moments we share with the people we love.

Now, I bake with my own children Lily and Max and watching them crack eggs and fight over who gets the mixing spoon brings me right back to that little girl I once was. Our kitchen is messy and noisy and full of life. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When the world turned upside down in 2020, like so many others, I found myself searching for something to hold onto. The long days of lockdown brought me back to baking. What started as a way to comfort my family became something much bigger.

I began sharing my recipes online not just the instructions, but the memories behind them. People started messaging me, telling me how baking a cake helped them reconnect with their kids, or how my grandma’s peach cobbler reminded them of their own childhood. And in that moment, I knew I had found something real.

When I’m not in the kitchen, I’m usually in the garden or on the porch, with our golden retriever, Buddy, beside me.

He’s been with us through it all through the chaos of toddler years and the stillness of quarantine mornings. Buddy has a way of grounding me, of reminding me that it’s okay to slow down and simply be. Whether I’m journaling new ideas or just enjoying the quiet, he’s always close.

Evenings are my time to recharge. Once the dishes are done and the kids are tucked in, I grab a blanket, a warm cup of coffee, and a book. That little corner by the window is where I come back to myself.

Reading takes me places when I can’t travel, and somehow, the characters I meet often sneak into my desserts a lemon tart inspired by a Paris love story, or ginger cookies that smell like winter in a novel.

💛 Why Edialy Recipes?

I started Edialy Recipes because I believe in the magic of simple things.
A warm cookie. A shared laugh. A handwritten recipe passed from one generation to the next.

Here, you’ll find recipes that come from my home, my childhood, and my heart. I hope they bring you the same comfort and joy they bring to my family and maybe, a little sweetness when you need it most.

Thank you for being here.
You’re not just visiting a blog you’re stepping into my kitchen, and I’m so glad you came.

With love,
Emily
