About The Big Man’s World

About the Blog & Recipes

I created The Big Man’s World 10 years ago. It’s a food blog dedicated to sharing EASY healthy recipes that satisfy a multitude of diets.

• 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.
• Every recipe has been tested multiple times by me and my small team of professionally trained cooks (and my 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.
• Please note: While I have a background in food and nutrition (university minor in Food and Nutrition), I am not a certified dietitian. Nutritional information provided is based on the application used and may not be 100% accurate. 

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. My recipes use minimal ingredients for maximum flavor—think 3-ingredient cookies or 4-ingredient potato soup. I also embrace time-saving tools like air fryers and the Ninja Creami to make cooking even easier.
• Quality Ingredients– My recipes are based on fresh produce, proteins, and whole foods. I prioritize minimally processed ingredients and encourage cooking from scratch whenever possible.
• Dietary Alternatives– My 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, I provide recipes for every season.

Once I have an idea for a dish, my team and I 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.
