Hello and welcome to Becomingness!!

I'm Ness and my love of cooking and sharing food and food ideas is in my blood!

I have Italian, Maltese and Egyptian heritage, and a love of preparing food from fresh and whole ingredients and connecting with family and friends over meals has been passed down to me, from many generations of passionate foodies. I share this passion with my children - Giselle & Josh.

So how did Becomingness come about?

After a career in Human Resources (and always with the nagging feeling like something was "missing"), and desperately needing a change, I began studying nutritional medicine when I was pregnant with Giselle.

The biggest reason being because I had battled health issues over the years and I wanted to teach my children about health & wellness.

During my studies, I started to adapt recipes into healthier versions to suit our needs - lots of "family favourite recipes" like butter chicken, caramel slice, and coconut rough.

I knew I had to share what I was learning about food providing "nutritional medicine" to help people's state of health and well-being, and to share the more "healthy versions" of the family friendly recipes I was creating...and "Becomingness" the home of healthy and easy to make recipes that your entire family will enjoy - was birthed in 2014.

My Top Recipes

These are my all time favorite recipes. I have a love for no-bake desserts and nutella and caramel are my all-time favourite flavours. My two favourite appliances are the air fryer and slow cooker. You can make so many amazing recipes with those two appliances. I have a weakness for air fryer chicken wings and classic Italian recipes made with my slow cooker.

I am so grateful that you are here and I would love to get to know you! You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram  and Pinterest.
