About Us

Welcome to AtMyTable

✋🏼E aí, pessoal, Patricia here, the heart and soul behind AtMyTable. I wear many hats here as the founder, recipe developer, photographer, and writer.

I’m a Brazilian mom of three energetic boys, living just outside Toronto, Canada. With my life running on coffee, maple syrup, and lots of rice and beans—no kidding!

How It All Started: My Journey

Growing up, I was surrounded by the familiar comforts of Brazilian home-cooking, but it was my grandmother’s table that left the biggest mark on me. It was always full of great food, family, and laughter—some of my best memories are sitting there, surrounded by loved ones.

When my oldest son turned five, he began struggling with food allergies and eczema, and we switched to a restricted diet to support him. To keep our home safe and welcoming for him, our whole family adapted to this new way of eating together. And that’s when I discovered my own food sensitivities. From there, I was on a mission to learn how to adapt our favorite meals into healthier, allergy-friendly versions.

With my Ph.D. in health science and neuroscience, I grew even more fascinated with how food impacts brain and gut health, and it deepened my commitment to creating recipes that nourish both body and mind. Now, as my kids grow and I find myself looking back on those childhood memories, I feel a renewed pull toward my Brazilian roots.

AtMyTable is named in memory of my grandmother and her ever-welcoming table, and here, I hope you’ll find a little bit of that same warmth and spirit. So, come on in, make yourself at home, and let’s share a meal or two!
