Hi, I’m Ella Joy!
Hi there! I’m Ella Joy, and my love affair with cooking didn’t start in a high-end culinary school, but in the most sacred place I know: my grandmother’s kitchen. I still remember the smell of roasting garlic and fresh herbs that filled her house every Sunday. It was there, standing on a wooden stool to reach the counter, that I learned my first lesson: Cooking is the ultimate way to say ‘I love you’.
Here at Smarters Dishes, we believe in keeping things simple, warm, and full of flavor. Each recipe is thoughtfully crafted to help you cook with ease and confidence — no fancy skills needed. From quick dinners to cozy weekend treats, you’ll find step-by-step recipes, kitchen tips, and inspiring ideas that make cooking a natural part of your everyday joy.
I created this blog to be more than just a recipe collection — it’s a community built on comfort, creativity, and a love for good food. Every dish we share is designed to bring a little more happiness to your table and a little less pressure to your routine.
So happy to welcome you into my little kitchen corner—where every recipe is made with joy and simplicity.
Let’s make cooking joyful again. 
Warmly,
Ella Joy
