Host your own customized cooking party for you and 5 guests with chef, author, and catering company owner Simone Miller! Simone is a chef on a mission: To prove that gluten-free and paleo cuisine can be just as gourmet, refined, and artfully presented as what you’d find in a fine bistro. She draws on her holistic nutrition education to bring true nourishment to her cooking, and belies the notion that healthy food can’t be delicious enough to impress the most serious gourmand. 

Chef Simone will consult with you to offer a customized class featuring delicious gluten-free food. A self-taught chef who has been working in the food industry for 17 years, she worked at several restaurants in New York and Connecticut before relocating to San Francisco in 2007. Once in the Bay Area, Simone worked as a personal chef while working to launch her own catering company, Zenbelly, one of the most respected gluten-free, paleo-style catering company in the Bay Area. In 2014, she released her first and very successful cookbook, The Zenbelly Cookbook. Just recently, she and coauthor Jennifer Robins released The New Yiddish Kitchen, a cookbook packed with 100 traditional Jewish foods plus bonus holiday menus. 

As the host or hostess, receive a signed copy of The New Yiddish Kitchen. After a heart-to-heart chat about all of the childhood (and adulthood!) favorites they missed as two leaders in the Paleo cooking community, the authors gathered the chutzpah to write this for you--all of your traditional Jewish favorites wrapped into one tasty package. They selected classic dishes--like matzo balls, borscht, challah, four different bagel recipes, a variety of deli sandwiches, sweet potato latkes, apple kugel, black & white cookies and more--all adapted to be grain-, gluten-, dairy- and refined sugar-free, as well as kosher. The book is a fun mix of new and old: modern with the whole-foods Paleo philosophy, and nostalgic with the cooking tips of Jewish grandmothers just like your own bubbe.
