My Story
As far back as I can remember, I loved being in the kitchen with my grandmother. I enjoyed stirring soup pots and adding spices to dishes. I was always experimenting and trying new things, even if that meant burning a few pancakes along the way. I relished the colours, sounds, and smells of the food markets and the interaction and energy in restaurant kitchens. I paid close attention whenever we dined out or watched Jamie Oliver's craftsmanship on TV.
My parents run a health practice, and even though eating organic wasn’t ‘in fashion’ yet and never having sugary candies in the house wasn’t ‘cool’, it laid the foundation for my interest in health. Once I learned that most chronic diseases are preventable or curable through the power of food as medicine, I knew that this would become part of my mission. As I grew older, I realised the importance of nutrition is still so overlooked in our current healthcare system. Whenever I would get the chance to preach about it to friends and family, I would. I studied business in France, worked in many different kinds of creative industries like fashion and interior design, only to always come back to food. So I started cooking for friends and family and hosting dinner parties. I've felt the need to honor all the enjoyable roles food plays in our lives whilst nourishing our bodies, and believe that food is more than physical nourishment on a cellular level. Food is so powerful. It connects us, and eating and cooking together changes the way we feel, builds social connection and communities, and shapes our culture.
I became a nutritionist and private chef (an escalated hobby that turned into a full time job), focusing on creating plant-forward meals that were not only delicious but also nutritious. The more I saw how many people struggle to find the time and resources to prepare healthy meals, the more I wanted to help more people nourish themselves. That's why I founded Olindas, a conscious, healthy food delivery service that provides healing and delicious whole-foods so I can help people feel their best. With every meal we deliver, we're helping people take care of themselves and prioritise their health, one delicious meal at a time.
