Hi! My name is Vida and I am the face and working hands behind EatsByVida. I am an Iranian Canadian who currently calls the suburbs of Toronto home along with my Italian husband.

Growing up in Iran, food was the highlight of all gatherings. Iranian women take such pride in their cooking skills and each have their own secret hacks and additions to traditional recipes. I was raised by such women, and carry that same sense of pride. I love food and enjoy trying tested and new recipes. Though, as a mom to a toddler, I don’t have much time to spend in the kitchen. So, I have challenged myself to come up with as many 5-ingredient recipes as possible and will be sharing those recipes here. Join me on this inspirational and mouth watering journey.

EatsByVida is a curation of easy, no-fuss recipes that use only 5 ingredients. Here we deep dive into kitchen hacks, ingredient details, discuss substitutions and so much more. Follow me on Instagram for inspiring, quick meal ideas.
