| Introduction | I am a chef and cooking instructor, trained in health supportive cuisine, with over a decade of experience cooking and teaching in New York City. I am also a long time size acceptor with over fifteen years of experience loving my body just as it is. Over the years as a health supportive chef and instructor I have often been frustrated by the continued emphasis on weight loss in the health supportive culinary world. Healthy, wonderful food is for everyone and it is not solely a vehicle for weight loss. Not only does that attitude discourage too many people from exploring the world of real food, it greatly diminishes the value of nourishing food and its many traditions. Then one day something clicked and I realized that I needed to combine my love of delicious, nourishing food with my dedication to size acceptance and the Body Positive Chef was born. I now use my culinary powers for good instead of evil, teaching about food and cooking for everyone who would like their food without a side order of self loathing. |
