I am a healthy foods cook. I've studied holistic nutrition and been to cooking school, but mostly, I cook from scratch every day!

My recipes are mostly vegetarian. I use mostly non gluten grains, and no refined sugars or dairy.

I'm also a healing chef. The food and healing connection is really fascinating. I use food to heal myself and I'll share what I've learned on the healing path.

I'll also share with you some herbal wisdom. My husband is a gardener and we are growing herbs for teas and cooking. Chamomile tea was my first success and it is delicious!

Be nourished,

Ann
