This week on the #CLP we’re joined by Executive Chef of Natures Emporium, Culinary Educator, and Food Innovator, Stephanie Tucci. Steph is an amazing person whose passion for helping others through training and nutrition was obvious from the first sentence. We talk about the role of food and cooking in her journey from illness to health, being a lady chef (boss) in the world of cut throat kitchens, how she creates new recipes and her interests in Ayurvedic cooking. Enjoy, share, rate, review!
