I live on Long Island with my family. I have been working in the food industry for close to a decade as a chef, certified nutritionist and recipe developer. As a child, I worked in my parent’s restaurant, and I think this experience influenced my career direction. After working for years, I had built up a collection of simple, healthy recipes—and finally maintained the confidence to write a cookbook. I wanted to share many of my own my knowledge and experiences with you, because we all want to feel better in our bodies, and by trying out my recipes, you become empowered to discover not only the nutritious and flavorful food, but also your healthiest, most vibrant life.
