Hi there!

I’m Aleisha, an accredited Dietitian and Nutritionist (APD) located in the beautiful Sunny Coast, Australia. I live with my husband, and gorgeous little Border Collie pup, Kimchi.

When not developing recipes, you can find me consulting over at Savvy Dietetics.

The Hummus Hub began as a space to share recipes with my clients, and has since grown into a platform for something much bigger. 

Since high school, I’ve bee passionate about global nutrition and committed to helping end world hunger. This led me to volunteer with AusHEAL, a not-for-profit charity that supports sustainable healthcare in low and middle income countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). 

Each year, AusHEAL sends a team of medical professionals to the HEAL Africa Hospital in Goma, where my role has been to train and upskill local staff in nutrition care. I’ve also worked with the nutrition staff to develop a high protein, calorie-dese soy milk supplement for patients using local ingredients such as Moringa. Since it’s introduction in 2022, staff report an 80% improvement in malnutrition. 

Despite this progress, limited resources and ongoing political instability remain major challenges.  

That is why The Hummus Hub donates 50% of all eBook sales to AusHEAL, to directly support the work at HEAL Africa Hospital in Goma. Your purchase helps nourish more than just your own table – it helps feed those who need it most. 

Asante sana (thank you so much)!

Aleisha
