My name is Amber Hill and I’m a Small Business Owner, Trained Culinary Artist, Certified Yoga Teacher and Birth Doula! I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit, a love for cooking and baking, and a passion for natural medicine and integrative therapies.
Hill Cottage Bakery was born from my dream of providing healthier, convenient options for those with food sensitivities, dietary restrictions, allergies, and chronic inflammation. I wanted to offer traditional sourdough breads known for their simplicity, digestibility, and gut health benefits, along with natural alternatives to favorites like bagels, muffins, waffles, braided breads, and sandwich loaves.
Customizable options and substitutions for limited diets were important to me due to my own chronic inflammatory condition, CIRS. Through my culinary training and healing journey, I’ve gained expertise in working with natural ingredients, managing cross-contamination, and making safe substitutions for various restrictions. I understand the challenges of finding nearby options for dietary restrictions, especially with multiple restrictions or severe allergies.

In 2019, I won 1st place in a Texas regional culinary arts “mystery basket” competition and in 2019 I also won 3rd place in a Texas State culinary arts “mystery basket” competition!
