I grew up on a farm in Northern California. I was raised on a nutritious diet of homegrown meats, veggies and whole grains. It wasn't until I was studying nutrition at Wesleyan University that I learned that my nutritious diet wasn't nutritious enough.

When I first learned that the maladies I was suffering from (acne, mood swings and insomnia) could be nothing more than nutritional deficiencies I was shocked. I had always blamed genetics and my personality. I had already tried Accutane (didn't cure my acne), coffee (didn't fix my fatigue) and exercise (didn't help my insomnia) so I decided to try out "perfect" eating. After a few months of a grueling regime focused on daily monitoring of my food intake to insure I was meeting all of my body's needs, my maladies disappeared.

But daily monitoring of food intake is an unsustainable, time-consuming task. I started wondering if there were a way to make a nutritionally perfect meal. A meal that would provide everything my body needed, so I didn't have to worry. I decided that one day, when I could afford it, I would hire someone to invent it.
Years went by and I realized I didn't want to wait any longer. I started playing around--I just wanted to see if it were possible. I spent hundreds of hours doing mind-numbing number crunching
but at the end I proved that yes, it is possible. Then it took weeks of cooking and taste testing

and re-computing, but the minute I was done...
Later, I had my first nutritionally perfect, awesome tasting, time saving meal--the Renaissance Spice Cake.
And I was hooked. Years later my recipes number at more than thirty (though as of today only four are written so that someone else can make them).

I have always been passionate about food. I started cooking in high school for Marriott. I spent my summer vacations during college working as a chef in Alaska, Scotland and France. When I graduated from college, my ability to make great tasting, nutritious food made me an ideal personal chef for people who could afford the luxury. It's exciting to be putting up this website and making the luxury of perfect nutrition available to everyone! I hope you take advantage of it.
With Love,
