Ellis Dunn

Ellis Dunn has spent over eleven years renovating and maintaining a century-old farmhouse, which gave him an intimate familiarity with everything from cast-iron cookware and mandoline slicers to soil tillers and pruning shears. He approaches each review by testing products through real seasonal tasks - canning tomatoes in August, overwintering raised beds in November, and reorganizing kitchen storage in the gaps between. His writing focuses on durability, ergonomics, and honest long-term performance rather than first-impression impressions. Ellis lives in rural Vermont with a half-acre kitchen garden that doubles as his primary testing ground.
