Our blog provides a creative outlet that promotes healthy eating in an enjoyable and accessible way. The food we consume can share a lot about who we are. Each body reacts differently to different food, and that’s OK- we know what’s best for our body. What’s not OK is the increase of obesity, hospital patients, and the lack of knowledge of where our food even comes from. Good Humble Foodie’s ideology is that everyone should have access to knowledge of wholistic cooking that not only tastes good but also feel good in the body.

Meet Lisa- the Professional Behind Good Humble Foodie

My name is Lisa and I am the recipe developer, writer, and overall creator of Good Humble Foodie. I discovered my cooking passion when I was just a high schooler. At 17 years-old, I became vegan for seven months during my cooking journey, developing an interest for wholistic plant-based ingredients and recipes that I would’ve never discovered if I followed the same diet and culture. I took a journalism class and got to be the co-editor of the food section of our website. I was really repulsed by how unenriching the school cafeteria food is and providing a sad bowl of raw, rancid broccoli as the only vegetable option. Utilizing the position I had, I wanted to influence student readers to make lunch from home. I came up with the idea of “Paper Bag Lunch”- we posted at least three recipes a week on our website that gave our classmates easy school lunch ideas they can make at home and bring to school. I remember walking on campus and overheard someone sharing to their friend they made my tofu bao buns recipe for lunch. That was really COOL!

In the end of 2023, I moved to LA and attended The Institute of Culinary Education for the diploma in Plant-Based Culinary Arts. The program I studied was very health-focused, and I learned a lot about nutrition, adjusting recipes for special dietary restrictions, and blue zone lifestyles. Before, during, and after culinary school I continue to work in all kinds of kitchen, always lending a helping hand and soaking up as much knowledge as possible. My biggest goal is to become the best Chef I could possibly be and open my own restaurant that serves good food! I apply what I know to my own life, practicing good food habits, physical exercises, and stoicism. I want to use my platform to spread more good and positivity to the world when we most need it. I really appreciate anyone who took the time to read about my story. Thank you so much! 🙂
