Jennifer Iserloh, the Skinny Chef, believes that the essence of good health springs from your own kitchen. You can eat the foods you love by cooking them in the healthy way to satisfy both body and soul. She celebrates delicious, easy to prepare dishes that can be enjoyed for a lifetime, reinventing meals that grandma would be proud to serve.
As a trained chef, Jennifer has shared her recipes and healthy living tips in print publications such a SELF magazine, Prevention, and First for Women, on radio, and on television on programs like the Today Show, CBS, and NBC. As a certified yoga teacher and former private chef for internationally known celebrities, she continues to teach the secrets to comforting meals made healthier and healthy fare made tastier.
Her mission as the Skinny Chef is to embed the rich flavors of restaurant foods and comfort classics in healthier versions that can be enjoyed guilt free – foods can indeed be flavorful, beautiful, satisfying and healthy at the same time! |
