My Food Philosophy

“Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.”

- Albert Einstein

Simple, but not too simple is a good way to describe my food philosophy. If you have arrived at this page you or someone in your family probably has some complex food issues and special dietary needs, as do I. You are seeking an expert because you need your life with food to be simplified without sacrificing deliciousness or disrespecting the complexity of your unique needs.

The cornerstone of my dietary philosophy is simplicity and integration. I take the best of what I learn from my ongoing study of nutrition and tailor my cooking lessons and menu planning consults to individual preferences, conditions, and goals. I integrate recipes from the following ways of eating (not a comprehensive list): Gluten & Casein-free, Grain-Free, Sugar-Free, Additive-Free, Mediterranean Diet, Raw & Living Foods/Food Combining, Low-Carb/Low-Glycemic, and Ethnic Cuisine. In my journey with Celiac Disease, multiple food allergies, food addiction, and a host of other resultant health conditions—one of my most powerful tools of healing continues to be my passion for cooking passed on to me by my Italian-born father. This love for food is mixed into every dish I teach you to make.

I view the diagnosis of Celiac Disease and Food Intolerances as wonderful invitations to live the healthiest life possible! By committing to make a change in your diet, you are committing to change your whole life. It is a change that happens organically. I help you change not only what you eat but how you eat as well. When you learn to eat consciously your whole life becomes more conscious. It is a journey that requires support! I know this first-hand, which is why I am offering this service. I spend most of my time researching what works and what doesn’t when it comes to healing diets and lifestyles. I am passionate about sharing my wisdom and hopefully making the healing process simpler and smoother for others.
