“When I started out, there weren't a lot of personal chefs running around and the ones I knew about weren’t focused on healthy food.” Chef Jordan continues, “It’s my goal to defend the integrity of food. I’ve watched loved one’s struggle with food. Diabetes is a terrible disease. People need healthy food that is well cooked, well prepared, tasty, and accessible!”

It’s not just where people access food that is a growing challenge, it’s understanding what to do with the ingredients. Jordan reminds us, “There are hungry people out there, and good food is being thrown away, lets learn how to use it!”

“No chef wants to throw away good food and watch it rot in a landfill.”
