Meet Cassian Rowe

Cassian Rowe spent the first five years of his career grabbing whatever fast food was closest to his office, watching his energy levels crash every afternoon. That frustrating cycle ended when he started bringing homemade lunches—and discovered that eating well during the workday transformed everything. Now, Cassian dedicates his culinary skills to helping others escape the sad desk lunch trap with recipes that are quick, nutritious, and genuinely delicious.

Originally from Chicago, Cassian combines his background in nutrition science with practical cooking knowledge gained from years of experimentation. He understands the constraints busy professionals face: limited time, basic kitchen equipment, and the need for meals that travel well and taste great at room temperature.

His Culinary Philosophy

• Efficiency is Everything: Cassian's recipes maximize flavor while minimizing active cooking time. Most lunches come together in under 25 minutes.
• Nutrition Without Sacrifice: Healthy doesn't mean bland. He packs his recipes with vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains without compromising on taste.
• Meal Prep Champion: Many of his recipes are specifically designed for batch cooking, giving you multiple lunches from one cooking session.

Background and Expertise

Cassian holds a bachelor's degree in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Illinois and has completed culinary courses focused on healthy cooking techniques. Before joining Time Of Recipe, he ran a popular meal prep blog that attracted thousands of followers seeking practical weekday lunch solutions. His approach combines evidence-based nutrition with real-world cooking constraints.

Outside the kitchen, Cassian is an avid cyclist who commutes year-round regardless of Chicago weather, a podcast enthusiast with opinions about optimal audio equipment, and a devoted uncle who introduces his nieces and nephews to cooking through simple weekend recipes. His refrigerator is always stocked with at least three days of prepped lunches.

At Time Of Recipe, Cassian oversees our Lunch category with a special focus on meal prep guides, grain bowls, hearty salads, and portable meals that maintain their quality. He believes your midday meal should energize you, not drag you down.
