Who is Bella James aka ‘The Queen of Cozy Comfort Food’?
I’m the kind of cook who thinks every meal should feel like a warm hug. I believe food is love, and nothing brings people together like a hearty dish made from scratch with a touch of flair! Whether it’s a creamy one-pot pasta, a rustic berry galette, or Sunday roast with all the trimmings, I like to take the classics and give them a cozy, creative twist.
So how did this all start?
It all began in my tiny kitchen with a hand-me-down mixer and a serious obsession with food blogs. I started posting my recipes and food photos on Instagram for fun, and before I knew it, people started recreating my dishes and asking for more. That’s when I decided to launch my blog and dive into the delicious world of recipe development and food photography full-time.
I’m a self-taught home cook who’s learned everything through trial, error, and a lot of late-night baking binges. Over the years, I’ve built my kitchen confidence and now pour all that passion into creating cozy, approachable recipes on Bella’s Table. I’ve also been lucky to partner with some amazing brands like Le Creuset, Oatly, and Great British Chefs.
When I’m not roasting something or chasing the golden hour for food photos…
You’ll probably find me curled up with a cup of chamomile tea watching The Great British Bake Off or brunching my way through cute cafés around town. I live for Sunday mornings, fresh sourdough, and the smell of cinnamon anything. My motto? Life should always include second helpings.
You can also find me hanging out on Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok, sharing kitchen tips, behind-the-scenes snaps, and all my latest cravings.
