Introduction: I am a trained chef with over 25 years of experience. I hold a degree from The Culinary Institute of America as well as a certification in plant-based nutrition from Cornell University. I own and operate a cooking school for children where we promote healthy eating and good nutrition.
Nutrition is the keystone to good health. I have a three-tiered approach where I meet one-on-one with the client to discuss his/her eating style and possible food restrictions. I then take the client on a shopping excursion where he/she learns how to shop for himself/herself. Lastly, I provide in-home cooking instruction and pantry makeovers. This allows the clients to take charge of their diets and be successful in achieving optimal health and wellness.
Food is life, and life is food. As Hippocrates said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
I enjoy working with clients and helping them to figure out what foods to eat in order to become healthy. We live in a society that is full of diseases. Many of these diseases can be prevented and/or reversed with proper nutrition. I find it to be extremely rewarding when I can teach a client how to take charge of his/her eating styles and witness the wonderful results.

I needed more quick healthy meal ideas and am so happy I found Stacey. Not only is she helpig me with some new recipes, she is teaching me how to master the pressure cooker. She makes cooking easy, great tasting and a lot of fun! I can't wait to work with her again and learn more cooking skills.

My daughter, son and I had an excellent cooking lesson with Stacey. We made 4 plant based recipes in our first lesson and Stacey showed us how easy it is to make good healthy options for dinner and snacking in a very short period of time. We are looking forward to our next lesson and already have a couple recipes in mind. :)
Best of all, Stacy is very knowledgeable in regards to plant based nutrition and she helped me feel more comfortable than ever with my choice to embrace veganism.

We purchased 2 hours of cooking lessons with Stacey as a Father's Day gift. She was so easy to work with and this turned out to be such a creative gift. My dad truly enjoyed his lesson and the amazing food that they prepared.

Stacey is amazing!!! With her coaching, I have lost weight and feel more energized than I have in years. She gave me so many creative ideas for new, healthy, simple recipes and I actually enjoy cooking again. I highly recommend Stacey to anyone looking for a jump start to a healthier life!
