About me

Gender	Female
Occupation	Cooking Instructor
Location	New Jersey, United States
Introduction	About Me Lisa LaRoche I inherited my taste and talent for cooking from my amazing Mom. I'm certain, were she alive today, she could out-master/top-chef, even the likes of Julia Child! Growing up "Jersey" means almost automatic initiation into a sort of "state food fraternity" (Alpha Beta Delta/ABD/Amazing Bread + other Deliciousness). It's at least a daily food fest, especially if your mom is part Italian. As years go by, nutrition matters more, but delicious is still a priority. I graduate from the Chef Training Prgm. at Natural Gourmet Institute (NYC), am shown the light about primal eating from Dr. Jon Mastrobattista, D.C., maintain the gluten-free status that goes along with primal (I like to say I was gf before the stars in Hollywood) and tada...here I am now, aching to share the tips and recipes I continue to gather, refine and reinvent. I want everyone to walk away from the table feeling good (in their body) and satisfied (in their soul). Food is cause for celebration! So, keep yer fork-there's lots of gourmet grazing to come!
Interests	Food experiments (naturally), mixology, volunteering at soup kitchen, dancing around Austin, Texas with my beautiful daughter and her grillmaster/bbq king husband(see Veronica's web site, veronicameewes.com) & hangin out in Jersey with family and friends, frequenting farmers' markets in search of organics, exploring the many treats NYC has to offer...metaphysics, spirituality and enjoying every minute of my blessed life.
