This cookbook is where Food That Anchors began.
It was created out of desire to make everyday food feel nourishing and approachable - without overcomplicating and process or compromising on ingredients.
Simple. Personal. Satisfying and Practical.
Inside, you’ll find recipes that use ingredients you likely already have. I actually make these for my family or grew up eating them. They are not recipes designed to impress or overwhelm. They’re meant to be returned to - the kind you make again and again, adjust to your rhythm, and your own way.
Food That Anchors is your invitation
Inspired by her love for food and people, Ellen brings you Food That Anchors, a collection of simple and delicious recipes that can be made in 60 minutes or less!
Understanding the lifestyle of people on the go, Ellen shares practical steps to simplify cooking, so you can slow down, savor the food and the company you may be sharing this moment with.
Whether you’ve resorted to repetitive dishes or succumbed to the plethora of meal prep service ads, Food That Anchors invites you to another option – simple, delicious meals you can easily cook yourself.
