Nephresha the Cooking Coach

Nephresha is a Los Angeles based cook whose training came from watching and imitating the culinary styles of her diverse family, rooted in Eastern European, Italian, Southern US, and Caribbean cooking. Her mother’s family lived off of the land in Wisconsin, hunting, fishing, gardening, picking wild food, jarring and preserving. 

Her Grandmother in Miami had a lifelong career of cooking for families and even selling plates of food out of her tiny kitchen. Much of her upbringing was also spent with her Italian aunt, where she learned about Italian cooking and the love that is expressed through feeding someone.

Since moving to Los Angeles in 1999 Nephresha has studied the art of cooking health-conscious food and has since created a unique style of cooking. Though her food is always comforting and well spiced, she focuses on keeping flavors balanced and healthful. 

As the success of her business grows she would like to use that as a platform to educate as many people as possible about cooking budget-friendly, delicious, healthy food.
