Beyond the beautifully curated brand of Deliciously Ella lies a story waiting to be discovered. Ella, the inspiring woman behind it all, is not just a successful businesswoman; she embodies the message she shares with the world. Her journey began with a personal struggle. Diagnosed with postural tachycardia syndrome at university, she turned to a plant-based diet in search of relief. With unwavering determination, Ella, then a novice cook, experimented with recipes and documented them online. Little did she know, this online diary would blossom into the immensely popular blog, Deliciously Ella. Her passion blossomed into an empire; with over 130 million blog hits, a thriving social media presence, and a dedicated community, Deliciously Ella has become a force for good. Today, it encompasses supper clubs, cooking classes, a top-ranked mobile app, a best-selling cookbook, and a successful product line of breakfast cereals, energy balls, and oat bars. She's an inspiration, and I I truly hope you'll enjoy learning about her story as much as I did.
