This will be a randomized controlled intervention in collaboration with physician care clinics. Participants with hypertension will be assigned to an eCulinary medicine group (E-group) or control that will receive recipes without the eCulinary intervention (C-group). The intervention group will receive weekly cooking demonstration videos, a one-time nutrition education session based on the content of the Nutrition Care Manual from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, a bi-weekly phone visit, and will be given a digital blood pressure monitor and a digital weight scale.

The control group will receive only recipes from the eCulinary intervention as well digital blood pressure monitor and a digital weight scale.
