Hey There!
Welcome to the Healthy Recipes Lab!
I am Maria, an Egyptian Scientist/ Engineer & the founder of The Healthy Recipes Lab. I earned my Master’s degree in Engineering. Afterwards, I worked as a researcher in Germany & Sweden for several years. Then for some reasons, I had to get back to Egypt and abandon research. I currently work as a planning engineer. I enjoy my work, but it could never fulfill the passion I have for mixing and experimenting stuff. So I simply decided to have another part-time job and turn the kitchen into my lab.
Yes, that is exactly how the kitchen feels to me. I even like using the basic lab equipment in my kitchen, after all isn’t it all about Chemistry 😀
I have spent years & years on the weight loss roller coaster. It was a terrible sense of deprivation with only a temporary success. One day, I decided to quit all that, & just enjoy a healthy life. It was the best decision I have ever made, both mentally & physically.
With adopting a healthy lifestyle, my kitchen-lab project was titled “Unhealthy dishes prepared healthy”. I was mostly enthusiastic about turning any dish I like into its tasty healthy counterpart. It always felt great when someone complimented a dish, & was even surprised to know of its healthy ingredients. Of course, it would have never been complete without the guidance of my lovely mom whose long cooking experience took the dishes to the next level.
Being a traveler, you will find me every now & then preparing a healthy version of an international dish. While my Egyptian background, will always contribute with a Mediterranean touch to the dishes.
The Healthy Recipes Lab is my personal food blog for documenting all the healthy recipes I come up with from my kitchen-lab experiments. I am passionate about inspiring people to enjoy a sustainable healthy lifestyle and avoid engaging in temporary diets. My goal is to help people in making healthy food choices without depriving themselves from their comfort foods.
Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to contact me with any comments or questions.
