About

I’m Eleanor, the recipe developer and content creator behind Good Food Mood. Since I was old enough to hold a spoon, food has been my greatest passion and my main joy in life. Over the years, I have documented my life through food and now I’ve turned that documentation into a job, sharing recipes I love with you!

Food is my fiction and I share recipes inspired by cultures and cuisines from across the world, as well as restaurant reviews and food travel tips. For those of you who cook, eat or live alone, I have created my ‘One Pot, One Portion’ series to bring joy and variety to cooking for one.

Good Food Mood came about for two reasons. Firstly, because I am always in the mood for good food. What ‘good food’ looks like is different day to day and meal to meal but, in essence, to me all food is good food. Sometimes it’s an elaborate dinner that takes several hours and many ingredients to make. Other times, it’s a piece of soft white bread (the cheaper the better) with an illegal, and entirely necessary, amount of butter. Good Food Mood celebrates the power of food and encourages me to be mindful about what I want or need to eat, and how it makes me feel.

Which brings me to my second reason. I believe food and mood go hand in hand. How we feel has the potential to affect how we eat, and I think that’s wonderful. How lovely that on days where we’re in need of comfort, we can find solace in a warming bowl of pasta. How fun that when life gives us opportunities to celebrate, we can share food and create memories with loved ones. While food often uplifts and changes your mood for the better, I also think it’s amazing that food can let you sit with your feelings. The personalisation and power of food is a theme that runs through everything I do.

I hope you find joy in creating and eating my recipes!
