“Chef Lauren has changed not only how I eat, but how my family eats. Eating healthy with a family of picky eaters is a challenge... Feeling healthy is the best feeling! Whether you don’t have time to meal plan, don’t enjoy spending lots of time researching and trying recipes, or don’t own all the equipment to cook, Lauren can change your life!”

“...My kids love working with Chef Lauren and look forward to each lesson. My oldest daughter knows how to cut an onion better than I do! :-) I take comfort knowing that my children are not only learning / taking part in a life skill but also being educated on importance of nutritional value.”
