Private Chef Sara Howard

We offer personal chef services, virtual & in person functional food cooking classes and functional nutrition coaching for people of all ages who are starting to integrate into a healthy and preventative lifestyle. From the seed to the plate, we utilize ingredients that will provide bio-identical information to our metabolic system. To put it simply, eating to heal with every bite!

Meals are ALWAYS grain free (beyond gluten free), dairy free (lactose free)* and refined sugar free. *(unless otherwise requested)

We only use high integrity ingredients, the animal proteins are responsibly raised (grass-fed & finished, pasture raised, heritage, wild caught), the produce is selected with seasonality in mind and organic, oils and cooking fats used are only organic coconut oil, avocado oil, duck fat, tallow, & ghee.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is a form of medicine.

I learned to cook at...

Florida International University and 10 + years of industry experience

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen is lots of LOVE & high quality ingredients from local organic farmers.
