Hi, I'm Julie Shanson!

Picture

Founder

In elementary school in central Maine, I spent weekday afternoons at the side of my Austrian neighbor making dinner with fruits from the trees and vegetables from the garden.  In college I took my junior year in Paris for the city living, the language, and the food.  I earned my bachelor’s degree in English at Cornell and drove west to Silicon Valley to work first at Stanford and then various tech companies in roles where the teaching of technology tools was part of my job.

My passion for food remained constant and only grew when I had my own children. I believe we all need to know some basics about cooking and nutrition to lead long healthy lives.


 In 2015 I became certified in plant based cooking through the Rouxbe Culinary Rx program.   Want to read more? Check out this Palo Alto Weekly article.
