About me

Hello, I’m Edward Hale. I’m 35 years old and a chef specializing in recipes that support weight loss, high-protein nutrition, and efficient air fryer cooking. I live in Austin, Texas, though my culinary foundation was built in Portland, Oregon, where I grew up surrounded by fresh produce and a deep appreciation for clean, satisfying food.

After formal training in Seattle with a focus on health-driven cuisine, I dedicated my career to helping people make better food choices. At my cooking studio, I teach how to prepare balanced, flavorful meals using smart methods and ingredients. Whether your goal is to lose weight, build strength, or simplify your routine, I believe healthy cooking should be both practical and delicious.

An Unforgettable Event In Texas

One event that stands out for me was preparing a recovery dinner for a group of athletes after a high-intensity training session. I served air-fried chicken breast, crispy and golden with no oil, paired with a protein-packed quinoa salad and oven-roasted vegetables. One of the athletes looked up from his plate and said, “I feel full, light, and ready for tomorrow.” That moment captured exactly what I aim to do—create food that fuels performance and satisfies the senses.

Why Trust My Recipes

My recipes are the result of years of hands-on experience, culinary training, and ongoing work with real people who have real goals. I don’t follow fads. I rely on structure, tested techniques, and nutritional accuracy. Each dish is created with intention. It is low in empty calories, high in clean protein, and designed to work with tools like the air fryer to make healthy eating faster and more consistent.

When I develop a recipe, I test it until it performs well in real kitchens with real cooks. That is why you can trust it will work for you.

About The Secret

The secret to better cooking is not complicated. Use real ingredients. Learn basic technique. Replace heavy oils with air fryer methods when possible. Build layers of flavor with spices, fresh herbs, and acid instead of relying on fats or sugar. Good food is built on precision and understanding, not deprivation.

I’ve made mistakes. I once attempted air fryer quinoa patties that were dry and fell apart. But every error taught me more about timing, temperature, and texture. That’s how great recipes are built.

A Great Achievement

One of the highlights of my career was developing a full-scale meal program for a wellness center in Austin. The focus was clear. We built high-protein, low-calorie meals that clients could replicate at home using air fryers and simple ingredients. Feedback was incredibly positive. Participants felt more energetic, satisfied, and committed to their health goals. That project reminded me how impactful well-designed food can be.

In our home, cooking Proteins brings warmth and joy that touches the heart before the stomach. With simple recipes and rich flavors, I hope to bring that same magic into your kitchen.

My Dream and Vision

My vision is to make healthy eating the most enjoyable part of the day. I want people to crave nutrient-rich meals, to feel excited by the simplicity of cooking with an air fryer, and to see weight loss and strength-building not as sacrifices but as daily victories.

Through my teaching, recipes, and food philosophy, I aim to give people the tools to take control of their health with confidence. Healthy food is not about limits. It is about making intentional, informed, and delicious choices.

I really hope one day you’ll visit my restaurant, enjoy the food, and feel the love I put into every dish.
