About the Chef
SEASONAL. WHOLE. FRESH. HEALTHY. DELICIOUS.
Hi, I’m Chef Whitney Aronoff
I create recipes to nourish your physical, emotional and spiritual body so you can feel your best & accomplish your dreams.
My clients refer to me as a Holistic Chef, as I combine my culinary school experience with whole foods and health based philosphies. I’m based in Laguna Beach, California. I graduated from Southern Methodist University with a degree in Communications, and went on to culinary school at The Natural Gourmet Institute in New York. I work as a personal chef, healer and food writer, with a focus on healthy, whole foods cooking.
I am passionate about healthy food, plant based nutrition, wellness, and the energy of food. I developed food allergies as a teenager, and overtime, more health and digestive issues developed. I’ve spent my entire adult life educating myself on food and our bodies. I’ve studied traditional, healing ways of preparing food to reduce inflammation to help my clients feel there best.
I want to share what I’ve learned on my journey and help others heal and thrive.
WHAT I DO
I am a professional chef, food therapist, and culinary coach. I am a graduate of the prestigious health conscious culinary school, the Natural Gourmet Institute. The first culinary school dedicated to healthful cooking, with an emphasis on sourcing the highest quality ingredients and preparing food with both eastern and western food philosophy.
MY EXPERIENCE
I’ve honed my skills at farm-to-table restaurants in New York City and Newport Beach, California, and prepared fresh gourmet meals for Orange County based food delivery services. Through food, I’ve found a passion for feeding and nourishing others. But even more so, a passion for teaching others how to nourish themselves.
