Experienced Culinary Professional & Food Writer | Passionate About Healing Through Food
With over 12 years of hands-on experience in both fine dining and large-scale healthy food production, I bring a deep understanding of flavor, nutrition, and storytelling through food.
I believe food is more than fuel — it's also medicine, memory, and joy. Today, I combine my culinary expertise with writing skills to make everyday recipes healthier, simpler, and accessible to all. My goal is to help readers cook with ease and eat with intention.
I also lead cooking workshops for both adults and children, often in live settings, where I share practical tips and adapt recipes for different needs.
I'm committed to learning, working across cultures, and creating content that puts a smile on someone’s face — because at the end of the day, that’s what really matters. Fluent in English, beginner in Spanish (Romanian native).
Let’s create food content that inspires and nourishes.

I’m Levente, and I’m here to help you transform your fitness journey into something sustainable, productive, and meaningful. Whether you're just starting out or looking to reach the next level, I’ll guide you every step of the way, using kettlebells as a powerful tool for strength, conditioning, and mobility.
What makes my approach unique? I don’t just focus on the physical aspect of training. Together, we’ll address the mindset and emotional well-being that form the foundation of long-term success. Training isn’t just about performance—it’s about building a body and mind that serve you for life.
As a coach, I follow the philosophy captured in Lao Tzu’s words: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” My goal is to empower you with the knowledge, skills, and habits to take ownership of your health and fitness journey, creating progress that lasts well beyond our time working together.
With certifications as an IKFF Kettlebell Teacher, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Personal Trainer, Functional Training Specialist, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and Nutritionist, I bring a well-rounded approach to help you unlock your potential. My passion for training was ignited by Pavel Tsatsouline and his simple, effective methods for building strength. Along my journey, I’ve learned from the best—mentors like Steve Cotter, who introduced me to the art of kettlebell flow, and Dan John, whose writings taught me to view training as a straightforward task: just do the work and move forward with life.
We’ll focus on mastering the essentials—squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, and carrying—because these movements form the foundation of strength, resilience, and long-term success.
My promise? In six months, you’ll feel stronger, move better, and have a clear understanding of how to train for both performance and longevity. Let’s create a plan tailored to your goals and make progress that lasts.

Helping brands refine their identity, visual language, and creative direction to build a stronger and more memorable presence.
Premium Brand Decks & Lookbooks

I help wellness brands and authors turn complex nutrition science into "table-ready" content that builds trust and tastes great.
Most health content today is either too clinical to enjoy or too "trendy" to be accurate. I bridge that gap. As a Registered Nutritionist with a background in recipe creation and digital design, I ensure your projects are scientifically sound, visually stunning, and also user-friendly.
What I Bring to Your Project:
Precision Proofreading: I don’t just catch typos. I "cook" the recipe in my head to ensure measurements, temperatures, and instructions actually make sense for the home cook.
Science-Backed Authority: Whether it’s Keto, Mediterranean, or specialized protocols (AI, Gluten-Free, Low-FODMAP), I ensure your content stands up to professional scrutiny.
Visual Storytelling: Using Canva, I create e-books and social content that don’t just share info, they stop the scroll.
End-to-End Development: From nutrition analysis to final formatting, I handle the technical details so you can focus on your brand.
Selected Services:
Cookbook Proofreading & Technical Editing (specializing in consistency and accuracy).
Recipe Development & Nutritional Analysis.
Wellness Content Creation (Blogs, Newsletters, and E-books).
Visual Design for Nutrition Brands (Presentations and Social Assets).
The Goal: To make sure your audience never has to guess if a recipe will work or if a health claim is true.
