I gain a sense of pride and accomplishment through sharing my cooking skills.
I work to collectively and consciously achieve a healthier way of living and eating.
To me, healthy food means nutrient-dense whole foods that contain both the required nutrients for life as well as phytonutrients.
Phytonutrients, or phytochemicals, are nonessential substances that naturally occur in food. They prevent chronic disease and slow the aging process.
Whole foods are foods in their most natural, raw form.
Purchasing foods as close to how they are grown provides the potential for the most nutrient-dense meals. My team and I prepare our meals from raw produce to ensure our ingredients are minimally processed.
