Cilantro & Basil by Morgie and Elle

Morgie and Elle

We are a Mother and Daughter duo that has been in the kitchen a long time. Whether it’s putting together a large meal for our family of ten on the farm or finding flavors that give us inspiration for a whole dinner and tablescape. Elle (aka Mom) has always had a love for food. Growing up she traveled all over the Caribbean islands, experiencing different cultures and flavors, then decided to take her love of food and open restaurants. After having kids, she decided to hang up her chef’s coat and get a job that let her have a set schedule. I grew up learning everything I know from my mom; she is one of the most incredible people I know, and I am so grateful to have the privilege to call her my mom. All that I know about cooking is from my mom: the ability to taste a single ingredient and judge whether or not it has a place in a recipe, what you need to host a party or dinner, and how much love and thought goes into your recipe. Somehow, even through that, I developed a different love—one for baking and the science behind it—by watching my grandmother and great aunts measure everything to a tee to produce the most beautiful and delicious creations. We now want to share everything we know and create with you so that you can create some of the most precious memories one can have. Hopefully you too can find your inspirational spark and join us in creating memories that last!
