About me

My name is Adam Moretti. I’m 38 years old, based in Santa Barbara, California, and if you had met me as a kid, you’d probably have found me standing on a kitchen stool, sleeves rolled up, hands covered in spices, helping my mother cook fragrant, slow-simmered meals. She came from the Italy, and in our home, every dish told a story—always full of flavor, warmth, and a generous drizzle of olive oil.

My father, on the other hand, loved food but lived with diabetes and high blood pressure. He often watched us eat with longing, unable to fully join in. That contrast stuck with me—between joyful cooking and the painful restrictions of health. Even back then, I found myself asking: why should anyone have to choose between eating healthy and eating delicious?

That question never left me. I went on to study nutrition in college, trained at culinary schools, and worked in fine dining, where plates looked like art. But even in those kitchens, I couldn’t find recipes truly designed for real people—with allergies, chronic conditions, preferences, and diverse needs. Where was the food that could nourish and delight at the same time?

Then, in 2023, my mom was diagnosed with gluten intolerance. It hit her hard—and lit a fire in me. That was the moment HealthyAmericanBites.com was born: a platform for personalized, health-conscious cooking that never forgets about taste.

Together with a team of nutritionists, chefs, and tech experts, we created NutriMatch—a smart system that doesn’t just recommend recipes but helps adapt them to your unique nutritional needs and flavor preferences. Whether you’re vegetarian, managing a health condition, training for a goal, or simply looking to feel better day to day, NutriMatch learns from you and grows with you.

“I don’t believe in bland food or one-size-fits-all diets. I believe in joyful, evidence-based cooking that honors who you are. I believe that food should support your body and excite your taste buds—at the same time.“

HealthyAmericanBites isn’t just my project. It’s a community of people reclaiming the power of their plate—and rediscovering the deep, everyday joy of eating well.

Welcome to the table. I can’t wait to cook with you.
