Our vision is to equip people with the necessary tools to have a healthy relationship with food so to succeed with their health & wellness goals.  We do this through our Education, Meal Planning, Consultations and our Delicious range of Wholesome foods.

Rita Varelas is a qualified Nutritionist and a member of the ANTA (Australian Natural Therapists Association) and Nutrition Australia.  In fact, Rita was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease in 2012 and is a member of the Coeliac Society, which she relies on for the latest news on medical breakthroughs on the disease. This has given her an extensive knowledge of gluten-free foods and Coeliac Disease.

Her love for teaching people to cook was handed down from her mother who was a Chef in a busy Italian restaurant in Melbourne’s West.  From a very young age Rita was taught the skills on making delicious home made delicacies handed down from generations of Italian Nonnas.

Rita has been been working closely with people with dietary intolerances and showcasing her love for food and knowledge in health & nutrition since 2015. The healthy cooking classes and the range of classes that she offers include: Gluten-free cooking; Vegan cooking; Cooking with wholefoods; Allergy-free cooking and Sugar-free baking and more.

Her repertoire of nutritional recipes that not only showcases her Mediterranean heritage but also adapted to suit dietary intolerances are now taking shape in a Wholesome Italian Cooking cookbook which is due to be published later in the year.
