Stop doom scrolling for recipes every day
Meet: Your Upgraded Menu!
Get a completely personalized recipe collection built from my curated library of 570+ tried-and-tested recipes that have been collected, shared, adapted and loved over the years.
This isn't a collection of random recipes pulled from the internet nor is it a bunch of
AI-generated meal ideas.
Every recipe has earned its place in my collection because it's one I've made, trusted and would truly recommend. I'll handpick the ones that best fit your tastes, preferences, schedule and cooking skills, then build Your Upgraded Menu around them.

Why this exists
Over the last 18 months, the phrase I've heard more than any other is:
"I don't know what to cook today."
After a long day battling incessant team meetings, answering endless emails and dealing with all the other things you have to manage on a weekday, deciding what to make feels like another chore and the mental load of figuring it out is enough to make takeout seem like the easier option.
Cooking shouldn't feel that complicated!
That's why I created Your Upgraded Menu.
Over the last 17 years, I've built a curated repository of more than 570 recipes that have earned a permanent spot in my kitchen. Some are family recipes. Some were random happenings in my kitchen that became something delicious. Some were shared by friends. Others I've discovered and adapted over the years. Every single one has been made, tested and approved before making it into my collection.
Instead of spending hours searching for recipes, I'll handpick the ones that best fit your tastes, schedule, cooking skills and lifestyle, then build a recipe collection that's uniquely yours.
"There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to cooking. So why do we keep buying recipe books that were never written with us in mind?" - Noha Gerges
This isn't just another recipe book
Anyone can give you recipes. I'm giving you the right recipes.
Before I recommend a single dish, I learn about:
- what you enjoy eating
- foods you can't stand
- allergies and dietary restrictions
- how much time you realistically have to cook
- your cooking experience
- your kitchen equipment
- your general cooking needs
Then I handpick recipes from my personal collection that fit your life.
How it works
Step 1
Apply
Since every Upgraded Menu is built from scratch, I personally review every application to make sure this service is the right fit.
Step 2
Submit your payment and questionnaire
If you're accepted, I'll send you a payment link and a detailed questionnaire.
This is where I'll learn everything I need to know about how you eat, cook and live.
Step 3
I build Your Upgraded Menu.
Every recipe is selected specifically for you from my personal collection of tried-and-tested favorites.
Your menu will be delivered within 7-14 business days from when you submit your questionnaire and payment.
Step 4
Delivery and testing
Once you receive your menu, we'll go through it together on a 1:1 call to make sure it's aligned with your expectations and so I can share with you how to make the most out of it.
Then, you can start testing it out and applying it to your life!
What's included in your personalized book?

Is this for you?
Your Upgraded Menu is probably a great fit if...
✔ You're tired of making the same meals over and over again.
✔ You spend forever doom scrolling looking for recipes and end up ordering in.
✔ You save recipes with the best intentions but never make them.
✔ You want more variety without making cooking feel like another job.
✔ You love delicious food but don't have endless time to cook.
Your Upgraded Menu is probably not the right service if...
✘ You're looking for a rigid meal plan that tells you exactly what to eat every day.
✘ You're looking for a strict nutrition or medical meal plan.
✘ You want a generic recipe ebook you can download instantly.
✘ You aren't interested in cooking at all.
Hi! I'm Noha
I never imagined I'd leave a career in science and R&D to teach people how to cook but after spending over a decade working with researchers and entrepreneurs, one thing became really obvious to me: personalized solutions almost always outperform generic ones. So why should food be any different?
At the same time, I was living the exact lifestyle so many of my clients have today. Busy days, long hours and very little energy left to think about food. Meal prepping became my way of making sure I could eat really well without spending every evening in the kitchen.
Fast forward 17 years and I somehow have a recipe library with over 570 recipes in it 😅. They're recipes I've collected, created, adapted and made over the years.
That's what Foodies in the kitchen has always been about. Helping busy women make cooking feel easier without sacrificing flavor or time. Your Upgraded Menu is the newest way I get to do that for you!
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How personalized is this really?
100%. Every menu is built after reviewing your questionnaire, preferences, time availability, skill
level and goals.
Can you accommodate allergies?
I can, however, I don't provide medical advice, so you’ll still need to check individual ingredients and labels.
Do you use AI to create my recipes?
No! Every recipe comes from my personal collection of recipes I've tested, can vouch for and love.
How long does it take?
Your Upgraded Menu will be delivered within 7-14 business days after you've submitted your questionnaire and payment.
Why do I have to apply first?
So I can ensure that I can really help you with whatever your cooking needs are. If I feel like I can't, I'll inform you, to be fair to you!
What's the selection criteria?
It'll be based on a first-come-first-served approach and only if I can truly help you. No other criteria will be applied.
