Welcome to Calyer Brooklyn, your go-to destination for healthy living and delicious recipes!
Meet Sarah
Hi there! I’m Sarah, the founder of Calyer Brooklyn. As a Brooklyn-based mom and food enthusiast, I’ve been on a journey to create a balanced lifestyle that doesn’t sacrifice flavor. Like many of you, I’ve had my ups and downs with weight management, but in 2020, I decided to take control of my health by reimagining my favorite recipes.
My passion? Crafting mouthwatering, health-conscious dishes that don’t compromise on taste. I have a particular fondness for reinventing classic Brooklyn treats, making them both nutritious and indulgent. What started as a personal Instagram account sharing my culinary adventures has blossomed into this vibrant community.
Our Mission
At Calyer Brooklyn, we believe that healthy eating should be accessible, enjoyable, and rooted in real life. Our recipes feature simple ingredients you can find in any Brooklyn bodega or local market. We’re all about making wellness work for busy city dwellers.
