As the founder of the Deliciously Ella brand, a best-selling author and a pioneer in the plant-based food industry, she brings a wealth of experience in entrepreneurship, brand-building and the power of food for health.

Ella’s journey into wellness began in 2012 when she started the Deliciously Ella recipe blog from her parent’s kitchen, seeking to improve her health through diet.

Her success continued as she expanded her brand with food products, cafes, and a London-based restaurant, Plants, which opened in 2021. Today, Deliciously Ella’s products are available in over 10,000 stores across the UK and Europe, and her brand continues to expand internationally, launching in markets like Ireland, Switzerland, Austria and even the US.
