About the Blog & Recipes

We created The Big Man’s World 10 years ago. It’s a food blog dedicated to sharing EASY healthy recipes for everyone.

At our heart, we want everyone to feel they can succeed in the kitchen. Whether you’re an experienced baker or you’ve never picked up a spatula before, there will be something here for you.
The recipes you’ll find fit a range of different courses and occasions, including dinner recipes, dessert recipes, breakfast recipes, and snacks. They are all secretly healthy, full of wholesome ingredients, with a focus on nutritious swaps.
We specialize in air fryer recipes, chicken recipes, beef recipes, seafood recipes, and dinners that can be prepared in under 30 minutes – perfect for the working week. Fun fact: Arman has owned an air fryer since 2015 (He first tried it in culinary school during his exchange year in the Netherlands- the birthplace of the air fryer).
Every recipe has been tested multiple times by Arman and his small team of professionally trained cooks (and their friends and family!). The recipes have also been made by millions of readers worldwide.
You’ll also find plenty of indulgent recipes, too. I mean, they are great for the soul.

✅ Nutrition reviewed

Since so many of our recipes are on the healthier side – or can be easily adapted for different diets – We want you to feel confident in the nutrition information you see here. That’s why we’ve partnered with Registered Dietitian Felicia Newell, MScAHN, RD, CPT, who reviews these specific recipes for nutritional accuracy and balance.

On those recipes, you’ll notice a green box before the recipe card highlighting that the nutrition facts have been professionally reviewed, so you can quickly spot which ones carry Felicia’s stamp of approval.

Recipe Development And Testing

We have four criteria when deciding if a recipe is good enough to go on The Big Man’s World:

Simplicity– Great food doesn’t have to be complicated. Our recipes use minimal ingredients for maximum flavor—think 3-ingredient cookies or 4-ingredient potato soup. We also embrace time-saving tools like air fryers and the Ninja Creami to make cooking even easier.
Quality Ingredients– Our recipes are based on fresh produce, proteins, and whole foods. We prioritize minimally processed ingredients and encourage cooking from scratch whenever possible.
Dietary Alternatives– Our site supports a variety of healthy eating styles. Many recipes include substitutions for vegan, gluten-free, and keto options, allowing you to adapt them to your specific dietary needs.
Seasonality– Cooking with in-season ingredients ensures freshness and affordability. From cozy winter stews to refreshing summer salads, we provide recipes for every season.

Once we have an idea for a dish, Arman and his team draft the recipe, starting with the ingredients and testing each step. It usually takes a few tries to perfect – balancing flavor, health, and ease, resulting in plenty of leftovers that friends and family happily enjoy.

To maximize our time, we test multiple recipes simultaneously, often utilizing seasonal ingredients. We document everything in real-time (as seen in my Instagram reels) and, once satisfied, refine my notes into a complete blog post with substitutes and nutritional details.
