Generations of European Cooking brought to your home and family
Mindy Ellingson, owner/baker/chef
Melinda grew up immersed in professional cooking, learning the craft from the ground up in her mother’s catering company, Cottage Inn Catering. She continues the tradition of European cooking and baking, bringing meals, desserts, and more directly to your door.

Comments from our clients
Here is what our clients say about the fare, flavor, and service.
I hired Cottage Cook to help me through shoulder surgery. The food was amazing! It was so helpful and fun to go the freezer and pull out a meal. What a gift!
Amazing Gift!
I recommended Cottage Cook to my son and daughter-in-law. They have a 6 month old and are overwhelmed with parenthood and work.
