Hi, I'm Ellie!
I am the recipe developer, food stylist, taste tester, and photographer behind Kitchen 335!
I am from a small town in East Texas. My family owned a bed and breakfast when I was growing up and I camped out in the kitchen any chance I got, stealing fingerfuls of my mom's white chocolate cheesecake cheesecake and snagging blueberry muffins off of the breakfast buffet.
I started baking in high school and it became a hobby of mine, a way to relieve stress and to be creative. I kept this up through college and that's when I decided that I wanted to pursue baking as a career, but with my sites set on owning a bakery.
I attended pastry school in New York City at The International Culinary Center and that's where my love for pastries really took on a life of its own. The first time I made a perfect macaron I was hooked!
After pastry school, I went to work using my business degree and decided to start a blog as a creative outlet. Soon after I really dove into the photography side of things and found a new passion. My old love of baking and a newfound love of photography found a home together in Kitchen 335 and I found a career path that I didn't expect.
What You Will Find On Kitchen 335
- Delicious desserts. You will find all kinds of desserts from the simplest of cookies and brownies to the more difficult macarons and souffles.
- Approachable recipes. My number one goal is to make being in the kitchen approachable instead of intimidating. I break down every step and provide step-by-step photos to make each recipe as simple as possible.
- Recipes you can trust. Each recipe on Kitchen 335 has been tested several times to ensure that I'm delivering the best possible recipes for you to enjoy.
- A variety of flavors. I love to bake with different types of flavors and flavor pairings.
More about Ellie and Kitchen 335
335 was the address of my parent's house when I was growing up. It is the place I was first exposed to food as an expression of love and will always be home to me. It is what I strive to convey in my blog and recipes!
It's so hard to choose but my absolute favorites have to be my Roasted Strawberry Cheesecake Bars, Earl Grey Macarons, Fudgy Brownies, and Pumpkin Cake. All of these are always crowd-pleasers!
Of course! I think that most of my Cookies and Bars recipes are a great place to start. More specifically, my Fudgy Brownies, Oreo Bars, Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies, or Chocolate Lava Cakes are all so simple and delicious!
First of all, I love someone who loves a baking challenge! Macarons are such a fun and fickle cookie. I have so many amazing macaron recipes with tons of tips and tricks! This Lemon Soufflé is made with only three ingredients but can be tricky. My Caramel Cinnamon Rolls have a caramel base, yeasted dough, and brown butter icing, each can be tricky but end up with the most delicious result!
I always thought that I wanted to own a bakery, but after I went to pastry school and worked in a tea shop/bakery I realized how much work and time went into owning your own shop. After graduating I went back to the business world and just baked on the side. I found myself in need of creative outlet and after some research decided that a blog was the way to go!
