About me I’m Isla Bennett, a self-taught home cook, food writer, and kitchen enthusiast from the beautiful coast of Cornwall, UK. I created RecipeEss to share my love of cooking and help others discover the joy of preparing simple, delicious meals at home. My Story Growing up in a family where dinner time was the heart of the day, I learned early on that food brings people together. My mum’s Sunday roasts, my gran’s apple crumble, and our family bake-offs all shaped my passion for the kitchen. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep love for both classic comfort foods and creative new twists on everyday recipes. With no formal culinary training—just years of cooking for family and friends—my aim is to make food that’s relatable, reliable, and rewarding.
