Work with Taylor
My mission is to connect people to the food they eat and take the guess work out of eating well. I do this by using my expertise in food as medicine, holistic nutrition, herbalism, and simple everyday kitchen practices. I teach people how to take healing back into their own hands through one-on-one consultations & coaching, private chef work, workshops, and experiences.
PRIVATE CHEF WORK
I place equal value on where and who our food comes from and its nutritional integrity, as I do on the way it tastes. My cooking celebrates the seasons by using the bounty of fresh produce that northern California has to offer.
My menus consist of local, organic vegetables from small farms at farmer’s markets where I shop every few days. I am proud to serve animal products that are pasture-raised and grass-fed. I cook with unrefined, non-industrialized oils and steer clear of refined sugar, food additives or other ingredients that don’t promote well-being. Many of the baked goods, breakfast items, and breads I make use nutrient-dense flours like buckwheat and hazelnut that are naturally gluten-free.
I personally know the farmers and work with those who practice regenerative agriculture and soil restoration as often as I can. The result is food that is nourishing, vibrant and celebratory. The meal works in harmony with the elements of the season, and any unique dietary restrictions.
I can’t wait to feed you!

Promoting wellness is something I’m very passionate about. I teach students how to bring movement, nutrition awareness, herbal practices, and mindfulness into their day-to-day lives. These simple and effective strategies can boost energy, positivity, and creativity.
