As a passionate chef with a background rooted in nutritional coaching and fitness, I strive to create dishes that seamlessly blend vibrant flavors with nourishing ingredients. My biggest joy is bringing amazing culinary experiences to people with special diets and dietary restrictions. My approach to cooking emphasizes balance, incorporating health-conscious choices without sacrificing taste. With a deep understanding of nutrition and a love for culinary innovation, I aim to inspire others to enjoy delicious, wholesome meals that support a healthy lifestyle.

For me, cooking is...

A meditation and an act of self-love

I learned to cook at...

At home, at commercial kitchens, via online and in-person classes

A cooking secret...

Seamless flavor combinations

Elena was awesome! She made my 20th anniversary great for my wife and I. She provided dishes and consultation to help me eat better since recently having my gallbladder removed and new way of eating.
