Hi, I’m Jonathan.

I am a personal trainer and home cook turned restaurateur. This website is dedicated to sharing my two greatest passions in life - food and fitness. If you have an interest in learning how to make simple, satisfying recipes, while at the same time staying healthy and on top of your fitness game - then I am here for you.

I launched SALU back in 2017. What originated as a food blog, has since transformed into a lifestyle brand that encourages consistent exercise and eating well. Growing up in an Italian family, we celebrated and communicated through food.

SALU derives from the Italian word ‘salute’ - meaning health. ‘Salute’ is also a formal way of saying cheers in Italian. Thus, Salu and That Salu Life is all about celebrating health and well-being.

My Approach

My mission is to empower people to live healthy and vibrant lives by sharing delicious, nutrient-dense recipes, while also promoting an active lifestyle. Food and fitness go hand in hand and are both essential components of a well-rounded approach to wellness. SALU is committed to providing high-quality, flavorful dishes that fuel your body and keep you satisfied. My goal is to create a culture that celebrates the joy of living and inspire you to be your BEST self by embracing a lifestyle centered around food and fitness.
