Hi! I’m Jennifer.

I am a professionally trained whole food focused chef, certified integrative nutrition health coach, certified gluten free practitioner, who also dabbles in herbalism and farming. I live in the Boise, Idaho area with my husband and our beloved doggie, Olive.

Wild Foods Kitchen was born out of my lifelong passion for gathering together with people I love, to eat delicious food grown in ways that support the health of the people eating it, the health of the people growing it and the health of the earth.

At 25, I received my first autoimmune diagnosis. I did not want to rely on pharmaceutical interventions for the rest of my life, I did not want to not be able to function at full capacity, but I also did not want to live on a super restricted diet and not enjoy the bounty and beauty of the foods I loved. So I embarked a health adventure where I trained myself how to manage my now multiple autoimmune disorders by learning how to make delicious, nutrient dense, gourmet food. I discovered that when food is made from whole ingredients, grown in ways that nature intended and made with love and intention- the miraculous can happen.

Part of my healing journey was to leave a 17 year career in the corporate world and live a life closer to nature and my family in the foothills of Boise, Idaho where I now live on 6 acres of land that my husband and I are turning into a small abundant farm. I am the owner and chef of the food truck Wild Foods Kitchen, and Gluten Free Bakery of the same name. On any given day, I can be found cooking, baking, hosting dinner parties, playing with my dog, nieces and nephew or talking to my plants.

Wild Foods Kitchen works with local farmers and growers and uses locally sourced food that is decadently good, both to the tastebuds and health of the person eating it. The food we make at Wild Foods Kitchen is always 100% gluten free (Celiac safe), never includes seed oils, and can best be described as scratch made, farm to table, plant focused, nutrient dense, regeneratively produced fare.
