Hi, I’m Yuka (also known as @yummy_healthy_ideas), I’m originally from Tokyo, Japan and am now living in Sydney, Australia. I have been extremely lucky to be raised by my mother who is an excellent cook, and has passed on many of her delicious, and nutritious Japanese recipes.
Growing up in Japan, then moving to Australia has provided me with many opportunities to experience many different kinds of cuisines, and cultures that have helped shaped my cooking style.
In 2015, I received my Cert III in Nutrition, where I learned a lot about the importance of diets, and nutritional values of specific foods. After receiving my certificate in 2016, I began working at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital as a dietitian assistant. In 2019, I decided to further my knowledge and completed my certificate IV in Allied Health Assistant Nutrition and Dietetics. Seeing sick patients on a daily basis really opened my eyes, and helped me understand the importance of having a healthy diet.
I’ve created this space to inspire, and share my passion for health, delicious food and well-being. My recipe’s stem from my own personal home-cooking, and have been designed to be simple and easy, using everyday ingredients that anybody can try.
I hope my site inspires ideas and the ease of mind to start cooking healthy, delicious meals for yourself, and your loved ones.
