Chef Richard Ellsworth

Greetings,

I am an experienced chef and a natural health consultant. Through my experience I have learned that healthy, nutritious food can take our bodies to greater heights and accelerate true healing at a deep level. In my practice, I have learned how certain foods can target healing for specific bodily organs and specific diseases. I incorporate basic Western nutrition and fundamentals of traditional Chinese, and Ayurvedic nutritional practices into every meal, while also employing my extensive culinary arts background to make every dish as delicious as it is nutritious. I have trained at the Culinary Institute of America in New York, and worked at many five star restaurants and Michelin Star restaurants in addition to studying nutrition from an anthropological perspective at the University of Connecticut. I have had the fortune to apprentice with Santa Barbara nutritionist Dr. Dale Figtree and to learn from TCM practioner, Laurie Schneider MaOCM, and homeopath Dr. Pramila Vishvanath. I am looking to use my knowledge practically to help members of our Santa Barbara County community heal, and bring themselves to their peak physical state through healthy, delicious meals that inspire creativity and enjoyment at all levels.
