Something tells me you’re ready
to feel amazing.
You’re done with that dreadful 5 pm “What’s for dinner?!?” feeling, AND
you deserve nourishing fulfilling homemade meals.
You see, having the motivation to cook at the end of a long work day isn’t MAGIC (even though it feels like it),
it’s really about tuning into those parts of yourself that are the WHY behind your actions.
+ WHY do you want to cook?
+ WHAT is the intention behind your actions?
+ HOW can you commit to your goals of eating well?
Sure, it’s about the practical stuff, like the meal plans and shopping lists and recipe apps,
but it’s ALSO about digging a little deeper and finding your food story. What makes you tick?
What inspires you to cook?
Hi! I’m Chef Aliye!
I teach home cooks the tips and techniques they need to get the most flavor out of their food so that they can stay motivated to cook and enjoy delicious fulfilling meals night after night.
Flavors evoke so much–from childhood memories to cherished times with loved ones, and ultimately remind us of our connection to each other. Flavor is what keeps me motivated to cook night after night.
I believe if we tap into our motivation for cooking–I call it our food story–the “work” it takes to cook homemade meals in our modern lives ceases to be work. Rather it becomes a joyous exploration of ourselves and our food story, even when we are tired or “too busy” to cook.
I started cooking as a teenager after being diagnosed with an autoimmune kidney disease. Cooking gave me a way to control my diet and health and also offered a connection to my family’s heritage.
After graduating culinary school and working in restaurants, I discovered I love sharing my passion for healthy food and Mediterranean flavors with others, and I started teaching cooking classes.
But when my daughter was born a few years later, I found that finding the motivation to prepare homemade meals night after night was hard. I loved cooking, sure, AND I knew I believed deeply in the importance of home-cooked meals for my family’s health and happiness.
But why was I resorting to take-out meals so many nights a week?
Over time I developed a simple process to keep me connected to the flavors that I loved, which motivated me to create simple weeknight meals. I realized that in order to enjoy stress-free meals on a regular basis, I needed to tune-in to myself, my WHY, my food story, and make a few simple changes.
It’s time to discover the food story that’s unique to YOU.
Start by asking yourself
WHY do you CARE about prioritizing homemade meals in your life?
Why do you cook?
And then turn those WHY’s into actionable steps.
You’ll stop being overwhelmed
and start consistently creating healthy homemade meals
that improve your quality of life and health.

But WAIT.
No story is complete without a twist, right?
Last year I started to notice that in my private cooking classes, participants were intrigued by how I blended spices and tossed them into dishes here and there.
Honestly, I’d never given it much thought. Everyone knows how to use spices, right?
WRONG.
As it turns out, people were thirsty for easy recipes and weeknight meals spiced to perfection, and Spice Club was born.
Spice Club members receive my newest spice blend creation 4 times a year. These are unique blends of freshly ground spices, straight from my kitchen to yours, which will equip you to whip up at least a dozen meals that have everyone asking “This flavor is amazing, what did you put in this?”
When you choose the Spice Club add-on to the A Good Carrot membership, there is a 30% savings for the year!

Why A Good Carrot?
well let me tell you a story…
A Good Carrot is named after an actual carrot I ate back in 2009.
Funny, right?
There I was, at the farmer’s market, picking up veggies for my (now closed)
produce delivery business, and I wiped one of those freshly-picked
carrots right on my jeans and took a bite. And guess what? I saw stars.
That’s right, my taste buds exploded.
That carrot was sweet, earthy, crunchy, bursting with flavor,
and so satisfying! I had NEVER tasted a carrot as good
as that one, and I never forgot it.
I consider A Good Carrot to be the foundation of every good meal.
Good ingredients. Good intentions. Good techniques. Good feelings.
Good connections. Good tasting. Good flavors. Good times!
