I have vague memories of my mom putting me in my first Parks & Rec cooking class at 2.5 years of age. My family valued homemade, from-scratch food and family dinners shared at the table each night. I grew up in beautiful Sonoma County, where farm-to-table and the importance of seasonal, local produce is strong. These values have influenced all I have done in the food & education world.
In my teens, chronic migraines forced me to learn about our food system, which changed the way I cooked, ate and challenged everything I thought I knew about ‘healthy eating.’ This made me curious about understanding both the hard truths about how processed foods were made and the importance of nutrition education.
Since 2008, I found myself happily immersed in studying food in some amazing kitchens around the world – from Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, to Turkey, India, Violet Cakes, Mast Chocolates, Daylesford Farm, Jamie Oliver, teaching at Relish Culinary School, a Master’s in Gastronomy in Italy and now dividing time between Sonoma County, California & London, England - the best of both worlds.
Over the years, I’ve found a niche in creating educational food programming. My background in education has helped me to better understand the connection between learning & development and our food system. In my spare time I develop recipes I share here to make cooking simple, quick and delicious meals - using local and seasonal foods whenever possible.
I look forward to connecting with you. Email me anytime at: eatwhatisgoodinfo@gmail.com or find me on Instagram.
See you in the kitchen,
