Jennifer graduated
from the
Chef's Training Program at the Natural Gourmet Institute for
Health and Culinary Arts, a culinary school located in
Manhattan that focuses on healthy, mainly
vegetarian, gourmet cooking. During her time at
the Natural Gourmet she headed a team that
prepared a four-course vegetarian meal for 100,
which was filmed for the PBS series
Healing
Quest.
Her internship was at the San Francisco
vegetarian restaurant Greens.
While cooking school expanded her creative horizons, a career as a restaurant chef became less feasible after her son was born in 2005. Suddenly the idea of spending late nights in an overheated commercial kitchen had lost its appeal. Developing recipes and writing articles about food, however, fits her like a trusty oven mitt.
Her published work includes "pop sensations," an article on creating healthy, fruit-based popsicles in the Jul/Aug 2008 edition of Vegetarian Times magazine, as well as a piece on using citrus zest to bump up the flavor in low-calorie recipes ("zest for life," Vegetarian Times, Nov/Dec 2008).
