About Us: The Women Behind I Am Cooking
Hi there welcome to our kitchen. We’re Lily and Hanna, the cooks behind I Am Cooking. For us, food is more than recipes it’s about creating balanced, delicious meals and drinks that make healthy living feel easy and joyful. If it fits into a busy schedule, supports your wellness goals, and makes your home smell amazing, it belongs here.


How This All Started
Our first healthy recipe was a total “oops.” We tried to make sugar-free brownies, and what came out looked like hockey pucks. Instead of giving up, we crumbled them into yogurt bowls, laughed until we cried, and promised to create real recipes that taste amazing, even when they’re lightened up. That little moment became the heart of I Am Cooking—real food, real life, and recipes that love you back.
Meet the Crew
- Lily – our queen of healthy bakes and wholesome brunches, creating muffins, breads, and light treats that taste indulgent but are mindful of balance and nutrition.
- Hanna – master of nutritious drinks, weight-loss-friendly meals, and quick one-pan dinners that make eating healthy simple, satisfying, and stress-free.
Everything we share is tested, tasted, and truly people-approved before it ever makes it to your screen.
Why Healthy, Balanced Recipes Matter to Us
A few years ago, someone close to us needed gentle, sustainable changes for their health. No crash diets, no crazy rules just better meals and drinks made with smarter swaps. Cooking together taught us something big: healthy food can be flavor-packed, comforting, and fun. Those little changes turned into big wins more energy, better sleep, and a lot of happy memories in the kitchen.
That experience shaped how we cook today, and why so much of what you’ll find here focuses on everyday wellness and simple ways to feel your best.
