Meet our team of nutritionists and chefs.

Kristen’s love for eating, experiencing different cultures and the human body has brought her to where she is today. She is an experienced chef who has recently fused her passion for food with her love for nutrition into a career. Using her education of the body and how to properly fuel it along with her knowledge of food preparation from years in kitchens, she strives to help people live their healthiest and happiest lives through delicious food, without over complicating it.

Allison gets inspiration for her meals from other cultures, local and seasonal ingredients, and friends and family who also love food. She enjoys cooking for her family and introducing new foods to her young son.

Food and creativity have always sparked my curiosity. Raised by Palestinian parents in the tropical setting of Central America, I was exposed to various cuisines and cooking styles. Whether it was helping mom out cook her recipes or growing fruits in our backyard, food has always intrigued me.

After getting my degree in Advertising, I felt that I didn’t belong in that world and thus decided to pursue my passion for food. This led me to The Art Institute in Vancouver where I graduated in 2011, and have made the city home since then.

Through the years, I’ve learned simplicity and quality ingredients are what make superb food so naturally, this concept became an integral part of my cuisine.

With simple techniques and imagination, I want you to enjoy a healthy lifestyle without sacrificing taste and flavor. The feeling of bringing beautiful food to people and hearing their comments about their experience is the most rewarding aspect of food.

Allow me to expand your palate with new cuisines and ingredients!

I grew up in a Lebanese household where food was a huge part of the culture – I remember sitting at the dinner table with my family or going to restaurants and spending hours socializing over a beautiful meal. Eventually, my mother opened her own restaurant where I developed my love affair with food, spending many years of my life learning how to cook and develop delicious, nourishing recipes.

Although I always loved to cook for others, I went through my own personal tumultuous journey with food, which led to my interest in nutrition. I began learning what was right for my body, experimenting and cooking for various diets like vegan, gluten free, pescatarian etc. and ultimately healed my relationship with food.

All of my life experiences have led me to this point in my career, and I am so honored to be able to cook for others for a living! There is nothing that brings me more joy than getting creative in the kitchen and cooking healthy, delicious, food that doesn’t only nourish your body, but nourishes your soul.
