About the Chef & Nutritionist

Hi, I'm Maya Castellano 👋

Raised between Valencia and Tuscany, I grew up watching my grandmothers transform simple, whole ingredients into nourishing meals that brought the whole family together. That's where my passion for Mediterranean cooking was born.

Today, I combine those deep roots with formal nutrition science training to help you cook and eat the Mediterranean way — delicious, healthy, and completely achievable in your everyday kitchen.
