Introduction: Hello! My name is Bekah Rife. I have been a private chef for 5 years. I have cooked for all sorts of diets and many cuisines, but as of the past few years have transitioned into cooking plant-based.
I studied plant-based cuisine at Rouxbe Culinary School and plant-based nutrition at eCornell University. My specialty is helping clients meet health and wellness goals whether it's for more energy, weight loss, managing diabetes, celiac, or heart disease through the power of food.

Rebekah is a true culinary artist! I am not a vegan but I do try to eat as little meat and dairy products as possible. With that said, it’s not always easy to find dishes that can replace some of the more hearty dishes most people are accustom to. To broaden my horizons I took cooking class with Rebecca and was truly blown away. We prepared three different dishes and all were just as, in not more satisfying than the meat versions! We made a walnut and shitake mushroom lettuce wraps, cauliflower nachos and a vegan cacio di pepi pasta. First off, Rebekah is a great instructor and was very patient and informative explaining the ingredients used and how they help give flavor, color and texture to each dish. Boy did she deliver! Everything was rich in flavor and texture and had a great presentation to boot. I highly recommend everyone explore more vegan options not just because it’s good for the plant and animal treatment, but simply because it’s just delicious!

I hired Bekah to help me overhaul my diet and food choices. She shopped with me in the grocery store and taught me how to read nutrition labels. From there we did cooking lessons once a week until I felt comfortable in the kitchen cooking vegan food for myself.
My health was not in good shape before I committed to trying a plant-based diet. Since Bekah's help, I am losing weight each week, have way more energy, feel much lighter and have a great new perspective on food and health. Safe to say my life is changing for the best!
Bekah knows food and nutrition and is absolutely passionate about helping people. If you are looking to improve your health and make the switch to plant-based, I highly recommend contacting her!

I have had the pleasure to know Rebekah for over 5 years now and have experienced her amazing vegan dishes. I also have attend many of her cooking classes that are not only tasty but teaches you about nutrition and how to make vegan dishes that look and taste so satisfying that you don’t even miss eating meat and best of all good for you! In addition, I have also hired her to cater my parties. Her professionalism and thought that goes into the menu planning was beyond my expectations. The presentation of the food was so delightful and delicious. Some of my favorite dishes are the spring rolls with house made peanut sauce, vegan crab cakes and her famous raw lasagna!
I highly reccomend her for all your catering needs and to take her cooking lessons, you will not be disappointed!

I had a wonderful cooking experience with Chef Rebekah. I have taken several cooking classes before but never a vegan cooking class. I learn some great techniques and use of different ingredients but I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the class. The settings was cozy and informal and she alternated learning/cooking with eating which differs from other classes. It felt more like a dinner with friends than a cooking class.
Having said that, the three dishes we made were great and composed a nice Italian menu with Bruschetta, homemade pasta (vegan) and chocolate mousse. The casual ambiance and easy-to-make dishes made me really comfortable about the vegan experience. I have already made two of the dishes at home since the class. I even thought the vegan pasta tasted better than my egg and flour pasta I make at home. I really recommend this class and I personally look forward to attending another one with Chef Rebekah.

The only thing more intimidating than cooking a three course meal, is cooking a three course mean that is vegan/plant based! As soon as I agreed to spend some time with Bekah in the kitchen, I instantly felt anxiety and a bit of panic. How hard was it going to be? And more importantly, how would everything taste?
However, the moment I walked into the kitchen my worries went away, as I could tell I was in good hands. The music playing in the background was soothing and appropriate for the theme of the meal (Italian), the kitchen was spotless, and we were ready to go!
We whipped up a vegan bruschetta as an appetizer, handmade pasta (cacio de pepe) as the main meal, followed by a chocolate mousse for dessert. I said "whipped up," because that's exactly how it happened! Bekah provided demonstrations along the way with helpful tips and pointers. Seriously, you can ask her anything! Her knowledge extends far beyond the recipe at hand- cooking utensils, substitutable ingredients, etc., no question is off limits!
I left Bekah's having not only had a fun time in the kitchen, but with a serious confidence boost for my potential in the world of vegan creations in my own home! Bekah, keep spreading the vegan love. Hope to see you in the kitchen very soon!
