Hello! I'm Chef Laurie Gauguin. Thank you for visiting.

About Me

I’ve worked as a professional chef for more than 20 years. For 10+ of those years, I've cooked for private clients with myriad special diets: gluten-free, dairy-free, LEAP, low FODMAP, candida, GAPs and many others. I am a published recipe developer for national publications and independent healthcare centers such as Delicious Living, Vegetarian Times, JumpstartMD and Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital.

Many years ago I developed health problems that could not be diagnosed or treated by western-trained MDs. Only when I changed my diet did my health improve - dramatically and swiftly.

Through the use of a self-guided elimination diet, then subsequent work with a Certified LEAP Therapist who analyzed my blood work to identify foods that were optimal for my body, my symptoms resolved within weeks, and I was empowered to live a thriving life.

Because of my personal experience, I have dedicated my work to helping others with food sensitivities, intolerances and allergies. I believe that everyone should be able to enjoy delicious meals, regardless of their dietary needs. My mission is to bring joy, ease and health to everyone I work with.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. In my free time I can be found dancing, hiking in the redwoods, exploring a foreign city or daydreaming over a cup of almond milk cappuccino. I live the good life and I want to help you do the same, one meal at a time.
