After several months away from Chef at Heart, I am happy to say things will be back up and running for October! The last few months have not gone as originally expected but excitedly many changes have come from it. Instead of taking time off for professional development in a new seasonal work opportunity, I ended up facing a lengthy illness and had to go through a lot of personal and professional growth to get back on track. Having been diagnosed with a wheat allergy (amongst other things), I have been exposed to a whole new world of food and while I struggled at first, I have learned so much about gluten-free options and cooking and food allergies in general. While I knew I had a corn allergy and had already been exposed to the world of food allergens, going gluten AND corn-free was a whole new experience and meant reeducating myself on many basics. I've learned so much about new products (new to me anyway), new cooking techniques, new suppliers, and have met so many new people and support groups along the way. Naturally, some of these changes will be incorporated into the updated Chef at Heart. Thankfully I had a culinary background and was able to adjust fairly quickly to a whole new diet and lifestyle but I'm aware not everyone has that advantage. One of the changes at Chef at Heart will be to share more recipes, tips and services for those with food allergies or sensitivities, and those with special dietary needs. Some of our old services will remain while others will be changing or going altogether. The focus will be less on servicing large groups, but returning to helping individuals and families. Hopefully you will return in October and check in often. I'm looking forward to being back in business, reconnecting with everyone, and making new relationships along the way. Jennifer |
