Welcome to Eleanor Kitchen — a place where simple, flavorful Mediterranean recipes come together with real life, real kitchens, and real people.
My name is Eleanor, I’m 49 years old, and cooking has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve learned that good food doesn’t have to be complicated to be nourishing, comforting, and full of joy. That belief is what inspired me to create Eleanor Kitchen.
Here, I share Mediterranean diet recipes that are practical, approachable, and made for everyday life. Think fresh ingredients, balanced meals, time-tested flavors, and recipes you can actually enjoy cooking — whether it’s a quick weekday dinner or a slow, relaxed meal with family.
The Mediterranean way of eating has always felt natural to me. It’s about more than food — it’s about balance, tradition, and taking pleasure in simple things. My goal is to help you bring that feeling into your own kitchen, one recipe at a time.
