HEALTHY LIVING
Welcome to a culinary journey where food isn’t just a source of pleasure but a powerful connection to health and heritage. In our fast-paced world, food has evolved into entertainment, yet, not long ago, it served as the lifeblood of past communities, weaving stories that tied people to the land. Today we resort to supplements, overlooking the abundant vitamins found directly in whole foods. Its time for a shift, a return to the roots of nourishment. Join me on a path where the joy of eating aligns with well-being, embracing the wisdom of the past to forge a healthier future.
I am passionate about creating nourishing culinary experiences that go beyond taste, embracing the holistic connection between diet, well being and a balanced lifestyle. I view meal times as opportunities to proactively support health and well-being, considering each dish as a potential remedy or preventive measure against ailments.
From carefully sourced ingredients to innovative cooking techniques, each dish I create is thoughtfully prepared to maximize flavor, nourishment and fun. Infused with the healing power of plants.
DELICIOUS HEALTHY FOOD
I specialize in creating delicious meals that are healthy and make you feel great. Nothing else makes sense to me. Working with farmer market, organically grown ingredients, I use my creative background, knowledge of nutrition and years of experience working for high end clients as a private chef, to create fun, tasty meals, individually designed for people that have specific dietary needs, or people who just want to live a healthy life, and feel great after eating.
SPECIAL DIETS
I have years of experience cooking special diets for clients with specific dietary needs. Working directly with family doctors and nutritionists. Autism, weight loss, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, diabetes, rotational diets and no oil, to name few. You can see more detailed info for specific diets here. I work within my clients dietary limitations, learn about their likes, dislikes and get to know them. Then I begin to design menus that will give them a similar experience to their old diet but with healthy ingredients. If the food tastes great then people will be more likely to stick with their new healthy diets.
CLEAR NUTRITION INFORMATION
I have a certificate on nutrition from Cornell University with an emphasis on Healthy Living. I also completed a certificate program specific to vegan nutrition at the C Thomas Campbell Institute for Nutritional Studies. There is so much misinformation about nutrition online. Its all designed to make people feel that their health will improve if they buy their nutritional supplement products, its not true. Nutrition is a lot simpler once you understand its basic principles.
WHY PLANT BASED?
All beings on his planet get their energy from the sun. Plants are the only beings that can capture this energy through photosynthesis. Imagine that, its a miracle! They store that energy and it gets released for our use when we eat plants and our bodies break them down. If our purpose for eating is to stay alive, then it makes sense to eat live things, like plants. Also, I believe that there is no way to separate animal suffering from the energy you are getting, from eating animal products. I visualize a future where we live harmoniously with all the animals on this beautiful planet.
