Welcome! I'm glad you're here!
This Healthy Table is a resource for home cooks who like adventurous, seasonal recipes. We take food and good ingredients seriously.
About Emily
My name is Emily, and I founded this Healthy Table in late 2015 to share new recipes and teach myself to be a better cook - in a quest to host impressive but easy dinner parties.
I grew up between the Middle East and the Midwest and take my culinary inspiration from the five countries I've called home and the 30+ countries I've visited.
I've had the pleasure of taking cooking classes in Vietnam, Thailand, Jordan, Italy, and Nepal. I started my cooking journey by completing the Forks Over Knives 90-day cooking school with Rouxbe Culinary School.
In 2016, my husband and I moved back to the US to a suburb just outside of Chicago.
You can find me spending too much time at the local farmer's market and making about three trips a week to Whole Foods because you know I forgot to add chipotle peppers to the grocery list!
Food Philosophy
I don't subscribe to one particular diet (like vegan or vegetarian), but I believe in eating mostly whole foods, and I like to source the best quality, seasonal ingredients I can find.
I love to cook at home, and I hope I can help make it easier, healthier, and more exciting for you to cook at home, too!
This Healthy Table is all about seasonal produce, cooking with great spice blends and aromatics, and highlighting exciting seasonal produce.
My Favorite Recipes
I have many recipes on the site that I make over and over, but here are a few of my favorites!
