About Us

Hello and welcome to Born Foodie! My name is Elena Marcelli, and I'm thrilled to share my passion for food with you. As a culinary storyteller and food enthusiast, I believe that food is much more than just sustenance; it tells the rich stories of our traditions, cultures, and memories that shape our lives. Here at Born Foodie, we celebrate these narratives and the emotional connections we have with our favorite dishes.

Our Story

Born Foodie was founded from my deep love for the stories that food tells. I wanted to create a space where passionate food lovers could dive into not just recipes, but also the traditions and memories that make food special. Frustrated by how food was often treated superficially in mainstream outlets, I launched this blog to uncover the emotional and sensory dimensions of our culinary experiences.
