Meet Reda – The Heart Behind It’s Not About Nutrition

Hi, I’m Reda. I grew up watching my mom and my sister cook every single day. Little by little I got into the kitchen myself, trying new recipes with my mom looking over my shoulder, until I became the one the family asked to cook. Later, our family ran a donut shop, where I learned what it means to make the same thing well, every morning, for people who notice.

I’ve always believed the best meals aren’t about complicated ingredients or perfect nutrition labels. They’re about comfort, family and bringing people together. That is why I started It’s Not About Nutrition: a place for easy, comforting recipes that fit real life. Slow cooker dinners and casseroles are my home ground, with homemade desserts close behind.
