I am a passionate “foodie” , proudly of Italian and Greek heritage. I love to express myself through meals and making nutritious Mediterranean-inspired food for time-strapped and health-conscious people is a passion.
As a member of a family with long-established restaurants in Johannesburg and Cape Town, it was probably inevitable that I would find my way back to the culinary world after studying and working overseas for a short while.
I have always been intrigued watching my parents cooking in the kitchen. I believe the key ingredient in our meals at home are love and passion. This is what makes my cooking so special…I express myself through the dishes I prepare and I enjoy creating recipes from something as small as a breakfast tart for my sister or an extravagant Sunday feast… It is hugely satisfying to prepare a meal that is aligned to the unique tastes and preferences of those I am cooking for!
I am happy to apply this love of cooking and share my knowledge of food and nutrition by offering fresh prepared meals on a bespoke basis in line with individual tastes and dietary requirements.
This combination of delicious and nutritionally effective meals has proven to be a popular amongst my friends and family and I am pleased to be able to extend this service.
Sana means ‘healthy’ in Italian and given that my nickname amongst my close friends and family is “Sana”, it is only fitting that my business reflects exactly what I am so passionate about!
Like any true Italian, I can talk about food for hours and I love to share my knowledge. This is how this platform was developed. I am dedicated to finding healthy alternatives to family favourites that are both delicious and satisfying.
Since my teenage years, I have travelled the long and difficult road to reach a point where I realised that healthy food did not need to be bland and that calorie-control was not a licence for unenjoyable and tasteless meals.
So many of us live in this world of ‘all or nothing’ when it comes to food and I have learned that there is a healthy, nutritionally balanced and delicious middle road. Allow me to share my learnings and recipes for healthy alternatives with you!
Whether you have a weight loss plan in place, are eating for optimum maintenance while training or are in need of an easy and balanced meal solution for your busy lifestyle, I am able to create and cook according to your exact needs.
After consulting with you about your lifestyle and specific calorie and macro needs, I use the freshest seasonal ingredients and healthy cooking methods to devise nourishing meals to meet your health and nutrition goals. All you need to do is heat and enjoy!
My recipes can be downloaded separately for you to devise your own menus of balanced, flavourful food. From easy salads you’ll want to eat time and time again, to main dishes for one or a crowd, balanced and good-for-you food can taste delectable – my simple recipes are the solution!
I enjoy sharing tips on conscious eating with my clients and each meal prepared by me is supplied with an accurate calorie total.
In addition, you do not need any culinary skills to enjoy great food and make mealtimes memorable. These nutritionally effective meals will soon become family favourites!
