The Cooking Community
Learn to cook better food so you can eat better food.
My philosophy with food is pretty simple:
I love eating good food.
But to eat better food, I first had to learn how to cook better food.
After years and years of trial and error, I’ve perfected some pretty killer dishes using fresh, whole ingredients… and now I want to share everything I know with you.
The Elliott Homestead Cooking Community is a vibrant, creative place for everyone who loves to eat as much as me.
Are you ready to make the food you dream about?
You’re in the right place, my friend.

Cooking doesn’t have to be a solo sport.
The work you do in your kitchen matters.
Even when it’s just you chopping vegetables and kneading bread, you still deserve to have the encouragement, support, and shared knowledge that comes from a community of home cooks.
Here, you’ll find more than just recipes; you’ll discover a supportive network where members share tips, celebrate successes, and inspire each other daily.
Together, we cultivate a sense of belonging that turns cooking from a solitary task into a shared joy.
Whether you’re a seasoned chef or just starting out, you’ll find a place of connection, encouragement, and creativity!
The cooking community has been a huge inspiration to me in my current phase in life. It has broadened my skills as a home cook and has allowed me to branch out and try meats and vegetables I never would have given thought to. This cooking community has given me lifelong friends and the confidence to blow guest’s socks off!
