My name is Amanda and I'm currently a registered holistic nutritionist with a huge passion for cooking and making healthy meals. I would love the opportunity to give health advice if needed/discussed as well as creating curated meal plans for a family or for a couple as well as then creating those meals and prepping those meals for you. I have a background in working in a kitchen. I've worked in a restaurant in the kitchen for a while and then I worked in front of house, so I know all about table settings and appearances. I then worked into becoming the holistic nutritionist I am now. So I pretty much have a well rounded knowledge and experience of working with food as well as curating the meal plans. I've also cooked for my family since I can remember, so I'm very comfortable and confident in the kitchen and can address all kinds of dietary restrictions. No years in this exact field but lots of kitchen experience

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Food from Toronto Metropolitan University and a Food and Nutrition Management Diploma from Humber College. More importantly, I bring hands-on cooking experience across healthcare. In each semester at Humber College, I took a culinary course where I worked closely with a professional chef on curating various recipes. In TMU, I also took a few culinary-based classes, working in a specialized kitchen. Alongside my experience working as a cook at a long-term care home, I currently work as a Dietitian’s Assistant, supporting nutrition professionals through client materials, professional communication, and evidence-based communication. We have also closely collaborated on creating a cookbook, where I made her healthy recipes, and tested them together I also work as a Cooking and Nutrition Instructor, teaching interactive cooking and nutrition lessons to elementary school children. Designing and teaching engaging, age-appropriate lessons has strengthened my ability to communicate nutrition concepts clearly, foster a positive relationship with food, and create a welcoming, organized cooking environment, all while collaborating closely with a team. Altogether, my academic training and practical experience have provided me with a strong foundation in both cooking and nutrition, which I continue advancing through hands-on professional work. Most recently, I worked as a Cook and Prep-Cook in a long-term care setting, preparing and cooking meals for over 120 residents daily. In this role, I followed recipes while maintaining high standards of flavour, food safety, and presentation. I regularly modified meals for residents with specific diet rules, including kosher, vegetarian, and specialized medical diets. I also ensured dietary restrictions, allergies, and individualized nutrition needs were met.

I come from a warm, family-oriented background where cooking and hospitality were always a part of everyday life. That naturally inspired my passion for food and led me to start my own custom cake business. I’m currently studying Culinary Management and love exploring new flavours, creating beautiful dishes, and keeping up with culinary trends. Outside of the kitchen, I enjoy content creation, trying new restaurants, and anything creative or aesthetic. I’m detail-oriented, patient, and genuinely love making people feel cared for through food. I have one year of paid culinary experience through previously running a small afternoon tea catering business and now my own custom cake business. I focus on custom designs, client communication, and high-quality creative presentation. I’m completing my Culinary Management Diploma and hold certifications in Food Safety, Nutrition, and Emergency First Aid. I love creating personalized meals and desserts, paying close attention to dietary needs, flavour pairing, and overall client experience! I also won the People’s Choice Award at George Brown’s gingerbread competition for creativity and design. Currently working towards completing my Culinary Management Diploma! Will be graduating in 2027.
