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), you’ll find utterly delicious recipes that are mostly whole food plant based. Many of which are gluten free and even oil free. All recipes are made using wholesome ingredients, and are 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.

My favourite compliment is when my husband ask for seconds (or thirds!!). Then he typically follows up with his famous line, “you can make this again”.
I’m a mom of 2 boys, and always looking to create something new and exciting for family meals, while maintaining a healthy and balanced diet. I love to experiment with different types of cuisines and create my new recipes. I hope you’ll all enjoy them as much as my family and I.
