Hello!

I’m Hong Thaimee

Welcome to my world of flavor, wellness, and inspiration!

I’m Hong Thaimee, a professional chef based in NYC with a Harvard certification in health and wellness, deeply passionate about the science behind lifestyle medicine and how food can transform our well-being. My culinary journey has taken me from the vibrant markets of Thailand to the world’s most prestigious kitchens, working alongside Michelin-starred chefs and sharing my passion for food on platforms like The New York Times, Vogue, Food Network, Eater, and Food & Wine.

But this space is about more than just food—it’s about nourishing both body and soul through mindful eating, balanced living, and the power of ingredients backed by science. Here, I share not only delicious recipes but also the life recipes I’ve gathered—resilience, creativity, and the evidence-based benefits of food as medicine.

Every dish I create, every wellness practice I share, is something I’ve cooked for my loved ones and integrated into my own life. My hope is that this space becomes a place where we can learn, grow, and thrive together—one flavorful, science-backed bite at a time.
