Your Hummus recipe is hands down the best one we've tried. My children (ages 5 and 2) enjoy it and they are so picky. It's hard to find one with out too much garlic or the right consistency but yours is amazing. Thanks for sharing your recipes.

Made your Creamy Asparagus and Quinoa Soup today and it was an enormous hit. Thank you for this recipe that will become one of my 'specialties'.

Just wanted to let you know that the Quinoa Stuffed Acorn Squash recipe I made for the seder was a big hit, and not only with the vegetarians (who really enjoyed the Vegetarian 'Chicken' Soup). Next year I think I'll switch to Spelt Matzah Balls for everyone - they were that good!

You're like my cooking guru! Thanks so much Aviva.
Kristina A.
I really enjoy how user-friendly Aviva's recipes are, not to mention delicious, healthy, well-balanced and foolproof!
I especially love the rice-pudding! still traditional-tasting, but so much healthier than how I used to make it. Thanks to Aviva for her insightful and easy-to-follow recipes for healthy living.
Great Passover section too! Who knew Passover could be healthy?

Aviva's Spelt Challah is truly spectacular. Finally there is a healthy alternative to Challah that passes the family test- it still tastes as special as Challah should!

Aviva performs wonders in the kitchen making healthy foods taste fabulous! I was amazed that we were able to cook 4 different dishes, start to finish, in such a short time.

Thank you for all the great recipes! I love the fact that they are all healthy choices. I especially love the Lemon-Lentil Soup. My husband loves it too.

I am a woman who has resisted cooking and cooking classes for 40 years. When I retired from business, I decided to improve my vegetarianism and contacted Aviva for help.
What an inspired idea this was! Aviva was so positive and encouraging, despite my antiquated kitchen, absence of tools and lack of technique. Her friendly, relaxed, non-critical approach engaged me and I actually enjoyed a cooking class for the first time in my life.
Aviva is well-organized and well informed. It seemed to me that I was reaping the benefit of a true professional, who has extensive knowledge of nutrition in general and vegetarianism in particular. After several sessions with Aviva, I feel more confident in my ability to prepare balanced, interesting vegetarian meals.
Thank you, Aviva, for extending my boundaries and giving me the encouragement I needed to cook for others.

My wife and I have always liked to think that we are somewhat knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition and enjoy cooking and eating healthy meals. However, when my wife became pregnant, she soon came to realize that cooking and eating was a frustrating experience. As morning sickness morphed into afternoon, evening, night-time and pretty much every-other-time sickness, her food aversions were so severe that all she could stomach was toast and crackers. Our concern was that she and the babies (yes, twins) were not getting the nutrition they required. No matter what we tried, she invariably ended up running to the bathroom.
Aviva helped us by identifying certain foods, and food combinations, that were easy on her stomach while giving her the required nutrition. She spoke to us about supplementing and was able to recommend good quality supplements that my wife was willing and able to take. Perhaps most importantly, she put our minds to rest about the nutritional issues for the babies.
My wife was soon back to eating healthy meals and we could focus our attention on other matters. Not having to worry about the nutritional value and quality of the food you are eating is a big relief and we thank Aviva for helping us in this important time.

Last April, my husband went to see Aviva because he was not feeling so well. He had low energy and high stress. She discovered through her evaluation of him that he was addicted to caffeine- a fact of which even I was not aware. After sticking to a strict non-caffeine diet, he soon emerged with tons of energy and a brighter disposition. I was thoroughly impressed and decided to give her a try as well.
I went to see Aviva, and listened to her suggestions for supplements and eating better. She also asked me to have a cholesterol test done to see where those numbers stood. I immediately took the supplements and felt as though my body was now whole rather than a sum of parts; however I did not really apply the ideas she gave me for food.
A month later, I saw her again so that we could go over the results of the cholesterol test. I was truly surprised to find out that at some point over the last five years I had developed high bad cholesterol. Finally, I decided to take on Aviva’s suggestions for food.
At the same time all of this was happening, I was also trying to lose some extra weight I had gained the year before while pregnant. No matter what I was doing, I still had fifteen pounds to go. Purely a positive by-product, once I applied Aviva’s food suggestions, I lost seven pounds in one week. I never felt hungry or that I was cheating myself of great food. It now seemed crazy that I was fighting it for so long! I felt good… balanced!
For anyone looking to lose weight, feel balanced, feel healthier, or anyone simply wanting to truly get a better idea of why certain foods work and do not work for you, I recommend Aviva Allen- your guide to healthy living.

During my initial consultation with Aviva Allen, she spent the majority of the time learning about my nutrition and health goals. Not only did she ask me about my current eating/nutritional habits, but also my overall health, which I very much appreciated.
Rather than focus on things that I shouldn’t eat, Aviva focused on giving me recommendations on healthy meal and snack choices that I could include more of in my diet. She took the time to explain likely reasons why I was falling short on some of my nutrition and health goals. Aviva also recommended some nutritional supplements and patiently explained why she was recommending them, how they would benefit me, how often I should take them and how to properly store them.
By the time we had our follow up consultation about four weeks later, I had experienced a noticeable improvement in all areas of my initial nutrition and health goals despite my personal challenges with self-discipline in this area. Aviva then recommended a few more minor adjustments to help tailor my program to better fit my busy lifestyle. Since that follow up consultation and the minor program adjustments, however, I have been more disciplined with her recommendations and still continue to see noticeable progress toward my initial goals.
I would not hesitate to recommend Aviva Allen’s services as a Nutritionist and further recommend that one be prepared to follow her recommendations strictly as doing so will only help to reach one’s goals faster.

For as long as I can remember, I have always had such a passion and desire for food. You just can’t beat a hearty cheeseburger surrounded by crispy French fries or the sweet taste of pizza- the whole pizza for that matter- while watching the big game. I could keep going, but my love for and dependency on food goes deep and with me glued to the computer for fifteen hours a day, my body and my health has certainly taken a beating.
I figured that if I just go for the low fat, or the fat free foods, I’ll lose some weight, be healthy and have killer abs- okay, maybe not the abs. But it’s more than that and listening to Aviva Allen on a weekly basis preach the healthier lifestyle, I decided I had to act. She opened my eyes to a whole other world out there… a world without trans fats, French fries and diet coke (yes this place does exist).
It didn’t take long after my first few visits that I immediately noticed changes in my own health, weight, and stamina. By just replacing a few items in my diet, I felt better. The knowledge and different choices of food ideas that Aviva can offer you in invaluable beyond compare. My love for food certainly hasn’t changed, but my choices certainly have.
I sincerely recommend anybody not on the cover of a magazine to go and see Aviva. It will certainly make you a better, healthier person.

Thank you, Aviva! I saw Aviva Allen to address some digestion concerns as well as to learn how to eat healthier, and I couldn’t be happier with the result so far! My experience with Aviva’s services began with a very pleasant yet thorough initial consultation. After gathering all the necessary information, Aviva made several recommendations including: Supplements I should and shouldn’t be taking, dietary recommendations including healthy recipes I should try and foods to avoid and suggestions on ways to maintain a healthy weight.
To say that Aviva’s recommendations have totally changed what I eat would not be an understatement. Using the delicious, yet healthy recipes Aviva recommended, I’ve almost completely replaced the salty foods in my diet with more wholesome alternatives. My absolute favourites so far have been the Mayo-less Chicken Salad and the Creamy Bean Salad. What shocked me the most was that these are some of the most flavourful dishes I’ve ever made and yet there’s nothing but healthy, affordable ingredients in them!
With Aviva’s help, I’ve improved my diet and eliminated my digestive concerns. I continue to sing Aviva’s praises to my friends, although it’s rarely needed as her recipes usually speak for themselves. If you’re at all curious about ways to improve your diet, I urge you to contact Aviva Allen.
Chris N.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for the initial consultation you did with me. I was very impressed with your knowledge, expertise and helpfulness.
I came to you with questions about a specific diet I want to follow and you researched the diet and addressed my questions. You exceeded my expectations with you helpful tips and hints. I know that it will be much easier for me to attain my goals with your assistance.
Karen B.
Before scheduling an appointment with Aviva for nutritional counselling, I spent many years suffering from debilitating headaches on a weekly basis.
I had been to several medical experts but none could determine what was causing them nor offer any relief. After taking Aviva's recommendations, my headaches ceased entirely.
Because of Aviva's expertise and insight, I have been headache-free for the past four months. I am continuing to consult Aviva on a monthly basis and my health has never been better.
Thank you Aviva!
