Experience

Ellie has spent two decades writing and editing food and lifestyle content for several well-known publishers. As Taste of Home's content director, she leads the teams of editors and culinary pros who share tasty recipes, cooking tips and entertaining ideas. Since joining Taste of Home 14 years ago, she has held roles in digital and print, editing cookbooks, curating special interest publications, running magazines, starring in cooking and cleaning videos, working with the Community Cooks and even handing out cookies and cocoa at local holiday events. Gluten- and dairy-free since 2017, she’s a staff go-to for allergy-friendly foods that actually taste good.

If she's not in her plant-filled office, find Ellie in her family’s urban veggie garden, in the kitchen trying new GF/DF recipes or at a local hockey rink, cheering on her spouse or fourth grader.
