About Me

Welcome to my Blog

Hi, I’m Stella, and I’m so happy you’re here at That Kitchen Smell.

If you’ve ever walked into a kitchen and instantly felt at peace because of the smell of something baking, simmering, or sizzling—then we already have something in common.

That Kitchen Smell was born from my love of food memories. You know the ones—Grandma’s bread fresh from the oven, Sunday dinner slowly roasting, or that first warm bite of something homemade after a long day. For me, the smell of a kitchen has always meant comfort, care, and connection.

I created this blog to share that feeling with you. Here, you’ll find all types of recipes, from slow-cooked classics and quick weekday meals to indulgent desserts and seasonal favorites. Everything I post is rooted in expert homemade cooking, tested in my own kitchen, and written with real home cooks in mind.

I live in the USA, and much of my inspiration comes from the rich variety of flavors and traditions I’ve grown up with—and continue to explore. My goal is to help you make food that not only tastes good but feels good, too.

Whether you’re a beginner learning the basics or an experienced cook looking for new inspiration, That Kitchen Smell is here to guide you. With clear instructions, everyday ingredients, and a dash of heart, I hope you’ll find plenty of recipes to make your kitchen smell—and feel—like home.

Thank you for visiting. Now let’s make something unforgettable together.

With warmth,
Stella
Founder of That Kitchen Smell
