About

I am a Health Supportive Private Chef to a celebrity couple in their 80's so I my knowledge of nutrition and specific diets is always in the forefront of my mind. I love teaching knife skills and sharing various cooking techniques and grocery shopping.

My teaching skills are organic in nature and life affirming focused on mindfulness and tips to help live a sustainable lifestyle. This leads to a great deal of creativity and Ah Ha moments.

    Donna was fantastic! She was very attentive and patient with my 10 year old daughter. My daughter loved working with her, and she learned some great skills after just one session!
    Donna was pleasant, fun and respectful of our kitchen and home as well as I highly recommend her!

    Im a middle aged woman wanting to shed some pounds without shedding flavor - Donna makes excellent healthful food based on classic mediterranean and california cuisine for me.
    We come up with a menu together comprising proteins, grains, veggies, and a wee starch or two. she also packs some extra surprise goodies. she delivers for a little extra which is great for my schedule.
    I couldnt recommend her more highly - everything she makes is super tasty, and shes as fabulous as her food.

    Frequently asked questions

    I like to get a clear understanding of the client/student's wishes and discuss in advance of our time together how I intend to accomplish that. 

    Natural Gourmet Institute for Food & Healing alum

    I have a 3 hour minimum for cooking lessons. $40/hr =  $120.   

    I'd say I started teaching because I was cooking for a family and their children loved to help & learn about cooking. 

    A recent event I love is attending the Opera House Cup regatta in Nantucket. I meet up with great old friends, we do a lot of great cooking & entertaining & sailing on competive boats with great yachtsmen & woman. 

    Maybe ask for an agenda of what he/she imparts
