I’m Christi Johnstone, and I started Love From The Oven in 2010. My mother and grandmothers taught me that great food doesn’t have to be complicated. From tacos to cinnamon rolls, macaroni to chocolate chip cookies, their recipes were simple, comforting and always made with love. That’s what I hope to share with you.

In addition to running Love From The Oven, I am the cookbook author of The My Little Pony Baking Book and Smart Cookie, and the co-author of Peeps-A-Licious.

Over the past 16 years I’ve worked as a long term recipe developer for PEEPS, Brach’s Candy and SweetWorks (Sixlets, Ovation, Oak Leaf and Niagara Chocolates) and been fortunate to work with many amazing brands as on recipe development, brand promotion and as a brand ambassador.
