Chef Carly Paige – Making a Difference in People’s Lives with Holistic Cooking!

Meet Chef Carly Paige, a health coach, a cook book author, and someone who is passionate about wellness and bringing people together around the kitchen table! Whether teaching “one-on-one” in workshops, or “reaching the masses” through online cooking classes, her main focus is to teach people how they can make better, healthier choices through simple changes in the ingredients they use in their own food preparation.

For Carly, the love for cooking started as she was growing up, spending time with her mom in the kitchen, going to cooking classes together while traveling, and honing her skills at culinary “boot camps.” “I have watched so many cooking shows, studied every cook book I could get my hands on, and completed as many culinary certifications as I could find… cooking has literally been my life!”
