About me
Hi there! Nice to meet you!
I’m Elena, the voice, self-taught cook, and photographer behind As Easy As Apple Pie.
I was born and raised in a small town in the north of Italy. I currently live in the sunny island of Bahrain with my husband Hassan and our chihuahua Pixie ❤️
I started As Easy As Apple Pie in September 2014 when I needed something to fill my days after I left my job as a flight attendant. What began as a little hobby, has turned into my full-time job.
