About Danielle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hi there! I’m Danielle Rye and I’m here to show you how easy it is to bake from scratch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved being in the kitchen creating recipes. So in 2014, I started Live Well Bake Often as a way to share my recipes with others and keep them all in one place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What started out as a hobby quickly turned into my full-time job and a love for sharing the science behind baking. Since then I’ve published hundreds of carefully crafted desserts and baked goods on my blog. And in 2021, I published my first cookbook<\/a> all about cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
