WELCOME TO
WHOLE NATURAL KITCHEN
Where everyday ingredients shine!
ABOUT ME
Hi I’m Gabby. I’m a degree qualified Naturopath/Nutritionist (BHSc Nat) with a love of whole foods. I’m the recipe developer and food photographer behind Whole Natural Kitchen as well as a published health and wellbeing writer with articles appearing in industry journals and specialist health publications.
After spending years in clinical naturopathic practice, I moved to online recipe development and food education driven by a desire to cut through the misinformation about food and health online.
Every recipe you’ll find here at Whole Natural Kitchen is shaped by my clinical knowledge. They’re all made with simple, everyday ingredients to help you create colourful, nutritious meals. Even the treats and desserts! You can find them all and choose your favourites in the Recipe Index.
Healthy food isn’t just salads, smoothies and superfoods. Any recipe made with ordinary, natural ingredients can be wholesome and satisfying. With each recipe I share some background on the key ingredients and the nutrients they provide, so you can make informed choices without second-guessing every meal.
If you’re navigating the complex world of food intolerances, many of my recipes cater to or are easily adapted for an array of special diets. Whether you’re gluten, dairy, egg, soy, grain, or nut free, there’s plenty here for you.

ingredient, that binds
us together
Whole Foods, No Fads
Every recipe here is made from scratch with whole, natural ingredients. No processed shortcuts, no trendy substitutes, just real food that happens to be good for you. The kind of cooking that’s been feeding families well for generations, long before wellness became an industry.
You can find more whole food inspiration, including quick and easy meal ideas, meal prep templates, meal planning templates and a free guide to Food For Good Gut Health on my downloads page.

More About Me
I have a wonderful mix of cultures in my family – Greek, Maltese, Egyptian, and Australian – which was reflected at our table in every meal. We ate a largely Mediterranean diet with Middle Eastern influence though enjoyed plenty of classic Margaret Fulton recipes too!
My mother and paternal grandmother have always been my guiding lights in the kitchen, and I still regularly refer to their hand written cookbooks. From time to time, I share something from them here – complete with pictures of their original recipes.
They helped me see from a very young age that food was connection to family and culture. It gave me a deep love and respect for food as part of the cultural identity and helped me appreciate the simple joy a good meal can bring when it’s shared with people you love.
Expertise In Food And Nutrition
After completing my Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) at Endeavour College, I spent several years working directly with patients in clinical practice before transitioning to recipe development and food education. I’ve also completed a Diploma of Sustainable Living with the University of Tasmania and have spent well over a decade deepening my knowledge of whole food cooking and fermentation, learning directly from some of the most respected voices in the field.
