Transforming Your Health in the Kitchen: Curated by Tastemaker Kevin Curry
There are two rules for maintaining a healthy diet: First, you need to make lifestyle changes and commit to building a healthy relationship with your food and body—no quick fixes. Second, the only ingredient NOT allowed in the kitchen is BOREDOM. In this collection, I introduce lots of variety as I encourage people to step out of their comfort zones and try something new. I also emphasize the relationship between food and mental health—something we're only just beginning to understand.
Here is one of my all-time favorite recipes
I first came across shakshuka during my travels (remember when we could travel?) and instantly fell in love with the dish. So, of course, when I got back state-side, I had to find a way to put my twist on it. Fusion recipes are a great way to do just that—and they combine the best of two worlds!
Seasonal eating
Not only is it more sustainable, which is something we don't think about too much when we're in the grocery store, but it's incredibly beneficial for your health. Plus, seasonal foods always taste better!
Eating Seasonal Foods is Highly Beneficial For your body AND your community: When it comes to our diets, it’s important to think intersectionally: what …
Ginger — a low-key superfood
You've probably had some ginger tea or something to that effect when you've had a cold. But it's such a versatile and overlooked ingredient that you can (and should!) be enjoying more ginger even if you're feeling great because it can help keep you that way!
BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM THIS FALL WITH THESE FIVE GINGER RECIPES There’s a lot of science that backs up ginger’s impressive resume: it’s full of …
My struggles with depression are no secret
But what most people don't realize is that I struggle with seasonal depression, specifically in the summer. Whether the warm weather brings you down or you get the winter blues, I round up my five top tips for beating Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
5 Ways to Beat SAD Ok, talking about mental health is the only way to destigmatize it and work towards a better future. So let’s go! You’ve heard about …
What to Eat when feeling low
It can be challenging to take proper care of ourselves for obvious reasons, but here, I share how someone can maintain a healthy diet even when that feels like the absolute LAST thing they want to do.
Being affected by mental health doesn’t make you weird. It merely proves that you’re human. So, let’s continue to break the stigma of mental …
My Mediterranean diet fav
I chose to include this recipe because it has everything I love about the Mediterranean diet in one dish. Lots of protein, lots of color, and lots of flavors!
Set a pot on medium heat. Once hot add the oil, garlic and onions. Cook for 3 minutes or until the onions turn brown and translucent. Sprinkle in …
Try a vegan dish
I'm very passionate about challenging folks to get out of their comfort zones and try new (healthy) things. That's why I've rounded up seven vegan recipes for those who would never think about going plant-based. These recipes are 100% vegan, but I promise you could fool even the most dedicated carnivore with my Red Curry Chili!
Curious about trying vegan recipes? Or, maybe you’re a vegan with omnivorous friends. Want to trick your dinner guests into giving veganism a try? Tired …
Challenging your notions about food
Another thing I'm passionate about—really, this is what Fit Men Cook was built on—is challenging notions people have about food. Like dessert, which is practically a dirty word in health and wellness circles. Finding healthy ways to enjoy the food we love is the surest way to build a positive relationship with your body and diet. So bring on the chocolate!
Are you looking for ways to get your chocolate fix without compromising your health and wellness? I’m the first one to admit that I’ve got a bit of a …
Try an unconventional recipe
Would you ever eat crickets? I would! That's why I'm including this somewhat unconventional recipe. Crickets are not only an excellent source of protein; they're also much more sustainable than traditional sources. And they taste great, believe it or not!
Low Carb Cricket Flour Muffins About the author My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, …
Inspired by my childhood
Lastly, this is a recipe that's near and dear to me. Not only is it a soul food recipe inspired by my childhood and culinary roots, but we made this one in response to the re-emergence of the BLM movement in 2020. Here's a dish that brings folks together, which is what breaking bread is about: community.
Set a pot on medium high heat. Once hot, spray with olive oil, then add the chopped sausage. Saute for about 2 minutes until the edges become seared …
