Hi, I’m Kelly.
Welcome to kellyneil.com, where you’ll find Nova Scotia-inspired recipes and simple seasonal comfort food. My food is shaped by my Mum’s classic Maritime cooking and my love of Nova Scotia ingredients like wild blueberries, root vegetables, and fresh seafood.
As spring leads to summer, homemade ice cream is one of my all-time favorite things to make! I have both traditional recipes that require an ice cream maker as well as a few no-churn recipes.
