About

Welcome to my corner of the internet with quick, functional recipes for busy, health-conscious individuals!

I love cooking! Naturally, I started to learn more about nutrition and became more thoughtful about what I was eating. I am passionate about sharing uncomplicated delicious recipes made from whole food or minimally processed ingredients.

I wouldn't want to label myself but I am cutting down on red meat, processed meat, and fatty dairy products.

My Story

I always loved cooking. We are quite a big family of 5 and, somehow, cooking together, we always managed to find our place in the "team" and that team worked like a clock. My love for cooking and trying new recipes comes from my mother who shared this passion with me.

My relationships with food were not always that easy. After retiring from being an active athlete and starting a 9-5 corporate job, I managed to gain quite a bit of extra weight. For a few years, I was constantly on and off some diet. Trust me, I tried a lot of those 🙂

That is when I started to educate myself more and more about nutrition in order to maintain a clean diet (with a few guilty pleasures included for the soul). It was groundbreaking for me, as I can maintain this way of eating, probably, forever and I have lost my extra weight sustainably.

My favorite things are:

• Ramen (yum!)
• Pasta
• Thai noodles (is it me or can you also see a pattern here?)
• My camera and my 50mm lens
• Arctic Monkeys
• Thunderstorms

Food photography

I also developed a love for food photography along the process and learned how to make regular meals appear as nice as they taste.

All of the recipe food images you see on the website are mine.
