Welcome to My Kitchen

I’m originally from Brazil, but I’ve been living in Canada for years now with my Canadian husband, Pierre, and our adorable boy, Thomas (AKA Tomtom).

I got inspired to learn how to cook healthy dishes after my husband discovered that his glycemic level was high. Then, I took Healthy Culinary Classes at George Brown College in Toronto and  Food Photography Courses also at George Brown College in 2013.

A year later, I launched Primavera Kitchen and it has changed my life for the better. Just two years after that, I quit my full-time teaching job to run my site exclusively.

I started testing and cooking my recipes in a tiny downtown Toronto condo, which I loved. But as my site and family grew, we needed more space. So, we moved to a family-friendly area in Toronto to build our dream home.

We designed our whole house around the kitchen because it's the heart of our home and where we spend most of our days. It's a beautiful home, so much so that it was featured in the popular Canadian magazine House and Home. They showcased photos of the entire house, including my fabulous pantry, and my wooden kitchen island. They even did a whole tour of our home for their YouTube channel.

Now, I develop and test my recipes for all of you in this gorgeous kitchen, which fills me with immense gratitude for inspiring millions of people who visit my site monthly to cook healthy, uncomplicated meals for their families too.
