About

Hello & Ciao,

I’m Rosa, the recipe developer, photographer, and creator of This Healthy Kitchen. I’m so thrilled to have you join me here!

Together with my awesome web developer, Nick (aka Mr. Healthy Kitchen), we bring you utterly delicious, plant based recipes. With many gluten free and oil free options too. All our recipes use wholesome ingredients, and are kept under 400 calories per serving.

Occasional cheat days are included of course. 😉

I was born and raised in Southern Ontario, Canada but grew up in a very Italian household, which exposed me to homemade cooking from a very young age.

My mom can turn any ingredients into a delicious home cooked meal, and I like to think I’ve learned this trait from her.

It’s always been my pleasure to cook for others and nothing makes me happier than having someone enjoy my cooking.

What you’ll find on This Healthy Kitchen

Nutritious, low calorie recipes with detailed step by step instructions to help you make your recipe perfectly, the first time.

Many of the recipes here are perfect for the entire family, with picky eaters in mind. I’m always exploring new ways to make family meal times fun and exciting.
