About Me:

Meet Elena Russo

I'm Elena, and if you walked into my kitchen right now, you'd probably trip over a school bag or step on a stray piece of macaroni. I'm a mom of three hungry teenagers, which means I don't cook for "fun"—I cook to survive! But that doesn't mean it can't be delicious. I grew up in a loud Italian-American family where food was love, volume, and chaos all rolled into one.

My Culinary Philosophy

My Background

I've spent the last 20 years mastering the art of the 30-minute meal out of pure necessity. I'm not a trained chef; I'm a battle-tested home cook. My specialty is taking classic comfort foods—pastas, roasts, stews—and streamlining them for modern life without losing that slow-cooked flavor.
