Hi, I'm Laura. I am the creator behind Love, Chef Laura. I'm a Michigander, and I have been cooking and baking since I could hold a whisk! After high school, I decided to expand my cooking knowledge and attended Great Lakes Culinary Institute. In 2009, I graduated with my culinary degree and continued to work in kitchens throughout northern Michigan. Fast forward to today, I no longer work in the food industry but enjoy my time at home with my husband and two children.
Why I created Love, Chef Laura
I started Love, Chef Laura so I could share wholesome and healthy recipes. I have three autoimmune diseases, and although I don't consider myself entirely healed, I have found great relief from symptoms by changing my diet. My goal with Love Chef Laura is to encourage a lifestyle of eating that involves real food regardless of whether you have an autoimmune disease or not. While I may not have total control of how I feel every day, I do have control of what I put in my body and how I nourish it. Adopting a gluten-free, dairy-free, and grain-free diet has positively impacted my healing journey the most. I am constantly grateful for my cooking skills and how my early passion for food has led me to where I am today. I hope you find my recipes an inspiring resource for when you need a quick meal during the workweek or celebrating life's special moments! Please follow me on this journey to recovery!
