Hello, I’m Karen Koramshai. I’m a devotee to all things health and wellness.
I’m hugely passionate about self-care and through nourishing recipes and inspiring content, I want to help you discover new ways of living well so you can live a tastier, healthier and happier life!
I was raised in Brazil and grew up experiencing an exciting array of cultures and cuisines throughout my early life, which fortunately extended into my adulthood where I was given the opportunity to travel through my career as a model and as the Commercial Director for magazines including ELLE Paris. During these trips around the world, I immersed myself as much as possible in local cultures. I love to learn about local food, from how to cook it through to its nutritional and healing properties. My recipe books are overflowing!
Along the way I also embraced new wellness practices and fitness methods and over the years began to create my own network of experts within the fields of health, wellbeing, fitness, travel and beauty. I have spent years learning and embodying their rituals, teachings and practices in order to try and live the most balanced and nourishing lifestyle I can – for me and my family. As a busy Mum I know the daily demands that life can bring so I’m curating this platform to share my passion for delicious food, wellness and self-care in the hope of sharing with you new and easy ways to live a balanced and happy lifestyle.
I hope you enjoy the content I will be sharing with you and welcome your feedback. As I have only just launched the website there will be much more to come so please do let me know if there is anything you would like to see more of.
I would love to see pictures of my recipes you have re-created and to hear from you about any of the wellness and fitness practices you may have tried. So please do come and say hello and share on Instagram.

This is such a versatile way of jazzing up vegetables on the BBQ. I used aubergines and king oyster mushrooms, but you could also use sweet potatoes, squash or red onions.

This is a lovely teatime treat which kids and adults alike will love. It has very few ingredients and is super easy to pull together at the last minute. You can replace the puffed spelt with unsweetened puffed rice if you want to make it gluten free.

This breakfast dish has all the flavours of a traditional carrot cake but none of guilt! It takes just 5 minutes to pull together before bed and the next morning you will have a delicious creamy breakfast which is free from refined sugar, gluten free and 100% plant based.

This is a lovely twist on regular hummus and makes a colourful addition to a lunch buffet or as a delicious appetizer to serve with drinks. It also makes a healthy plant based sandwich filling if paired with some creamy avocado and crunchy slaw.
