About me
Hi there! Nice to meet you!
I’m Elena, the recipe developer, food stylist, 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 United Arab Emirates with my husband Hassan.
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.
What you’ll find on As Easy As Apple Pie
What you see on the blog, is what we eat!
Most of my recipes are quick, simple, and made with everyday, seasonal ingredients. Nothing fussy or complicated! You’ll find plenty of soups, salads, healthy recipes, and a few indulgent recipes too, because life is all about balance!
If you’re new to cooking and baking, don’t be afraid. The instructions are easy to follow and you will find lots of helpful tips.
