Are you ready to have a paradigm shift in your relationship to food? And never go back? Let's talk.

I received formal culinary training in 2005 from the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts in New York City and now specialize in vegan and vegetarian cuisine as a food educator. 

After culinary school, I worked as a cook at New York’s renowned vegan restaurant, Candle Cafe, and then as a personal chef to Manhattan and Brooklyn clients. I also completed a Bachelor of Science from The New School and have begun work on my Master's in Business Administration.

Now back in my home state of Kentucky, my full-time job is Owner & Chief Consultant at Bourbon & Beans.  However, The Wholesome Chef is my outlet in which to share my passion for fresh, simple and delicious foods. It is my goal to help you with the "how"; you know you need to eat better, but believe myths that it's expensive and time consuming. That's where I come in...guiding you in learning about and trying new foods in a fun, comfortable environment. 

I offer a few public classes each month in the Louisville and Lexington area and present regularly for corporate wellness programs. Please call or email me to book a date for the following: Knife Skills; Vegan & Vegetarian Basics; Fish; Juicing & Smoothies; Kitchen Farmacy; Macrobiotic Diet; and Ayurvedic Cooking.

Had a phenomenal time. Thank you so much. Looking forward to shopping tomorrow and attempting on making what we all had this evening.

Hi Carolyn,

I'm really glad I had a chance to attend this class and meet you. I really enjoyed the food, format, venue and the thoughtful information that was included in the handout packet. This class was perfect for me. 

Thank you and I look forward to attending your other classes.

Carolyn,

I miss that you’ve discontinued classes at your kitchen on High Street and was very happy that I was able to attend last night’s class.    

I had a great time and I really appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge of food with us.  I love that it’s healthy and organic and I always coming away having learned a lot and with new recipe ideas!  AND the food is always yummy!
