Chef Joanna
Los Angeles, CA
My name is Joanna of Chef Joanna’s Kitchen and I am a culinary educator in Los Angeles, CA. After 10 years of experience in the restaurant industry, I discovered that I am more of a food counselor than a chef. I enjoy the process of cooking without rushing and I care about wellness, helping my clients create healthy habits in the kitchen that will ultimately benefit them and those they feed. After earning a degree in Nutrition and my culinary degree in France, I returned home so that I can bring people together and teach them something new.

“Chef Joanna has been hosting virtual cooking lessons at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for the past few months and is a wonderful chef and teacher. She provides chef’s tips and tricks, answers questions, loves hearing other people share their experience, and is a warm and welcome presence on Wednesday afternoons. I have made several of her plant-based dishes and, despite my culinary limitations, they have been welcome additions to our dinner table.“

“Chef Joanna is amazing! Every week I look forward to our weekly gatherings with work colleagues. We are lucky to virtually spend 30 minutes of very engaging cooking lessons. With having to cook more at home during the pandemic, her recipes and kitchen skills have come very handy. I have expanded my recipe repertoire and improved the quality of my nutrition. The recipes she recommends are easy, delicious, very nutritious and fun to make. Thank you!!“
