Chef Joan Pan

Jone is an amazing Paleo chef, ice cream-​er, and health advocate through nutrition. She is well-​versed on the healthy aspects of Paleo and is also classically trained in Paris! In her ice cream she uses all natural birch bark sweetener that doesn’t raise my glycemic levels, and even has my diabetic roommate eating healthy! Amazing product and you WILL see it in Whole Foods someday :)
GO JONE!

Joan is extremely talented and skilled culinary expert. There are few people that I trust in this field but she is definitely one of them. Her talents are in nearly every facet of the culinary arts, but one item she creates has made an impact on me, in a good way: her high quality gourmet ice cream. I had the opportunity to try salted butter caramel flavor and it was amazing. It was salty and sweet and tasted like a new level of ingredients were used when compared to the big box guys. And for obvious reasons being that it was made of the highest quality ingredients no short cuts or fillers at all. I strongly recommend working with Joan, or trying what she has to offer because you will not be disappointed.

Joan is a culinary expert who applies her classic skills to make gourmet nutritious and delicious meals. The first thing I ever tried was her ice cream and OMG, if you have been skipping out on ice cream due to dietary restrictions or just suffering after (guilty here!), you are in for the treat of a lifetime! It is literally unbelievable that there’s no dairy… how does she get it so creamy!!!
Girl has serious skills, and it doesn’t stop there.
I then had her over for a one-​on-​one cooking lesson. She is super resourceful in the kitchen, making sure we used every part of an animal to flavor the dishes. She taught me some basic cooking tricks to add deep and rich flavor that I’ve been applying on a daily basis since we met. I’ve only been cooking under 1 year, and I feel more educated than most people I meet that have been cooking for years! Get this girl in the kitchen with you, it will make you want to cook!

Chef Joan has changed the way I look at food, and to not be afraid to try new stuff.
I have been suffering from an Autoimmune disorder for years. After years of unsuccessful western medicine I finally was ready to change the way I eat. The problem is I discovered that all the things I knew how to cook were the foods I couldn’t eat. I am on a autoimmune protocol diet and was having trouble making my food taste yummy. This means no Grains, Dairy, Beans nuts and I have to watch out for these things called night shades, I was so confused what do I cook? Then I was introduced to Chef Joan.
I just finished my 2^nd session with Chef Joan and what a difference two days make. I’ve learned to shop and use ingredients I knew of but had no idea of what to do with it. She taught me how to shop, what to look for in labels and tricks on how to make so many things yummy and how to use some of the things I have in my kitchen that I didn’t utilize. Then of course the meals she demoed were super yummy. She also helped me with my pantry, refrigerator and spice cupboard. I feel more confident in my cooking and I have recipes she picked especially for me and my family.
If you are ready to change to a healthy food lifestyle and get rid of the processed and hormone and nitrate filled food but don’t know where and how to start. CALL CHEF JOAN she will put you on the right path. You’ll have fun and learn something too.

After reading an article on the health benefits of eating cleaner meals, I decided it was time to get my act together. I reviewed with Joan my eating objectives and dietary restrictions, and she created a customized meal plan to help me meet my objectives. We spent a few hours walking through Whole Foods while Joan explained what I should be looking for in fresh produce, proteins, and other foods. You can read as much as you want about eating healthy, but Joan helps you take it from theory to application so that you can walk through a grocery store and make the right choices on procuring ingredients for your meals. I even learned how to look more closely at the nutritional labels of packaged foods. Chef Joan also provides instruction in the kitchen, so you’re getting cooking lessons as part of the service. If you want to continue eating desserts, definitely request that Joan provide you the dairy-​free and egg-​free ice cream and cookie recipes — unreal!

As a physician specializing in clinical nutrition and integrative medicine, I’m a big believer of using food to heal the body. When identifying the underlying cause of many chronic disease processes, it is often necessary to uncover and treat any existing food sensitivities or intolerances.
Chef Joan has been nothing but amazing in helping my patients navigate the initially overwhelming world of becoming gluten free, dairy free, etc. She offers individualized menu plans that are customized to each person’s unique sensitivities and taste preferences. Furthermore, she teaches her clients how to shop, prepare, and cook their food — always with focus on overall health and sustainability.
To top it off chef Joan was classically trained in France and has worked in some of the top restaurants throughout the world. But fine dining aside, her passion for food and how it relates to health are exceptional and she has established herself as an authority on gluten-​free cooking, the candida diet, paleo diet, GAPS, and traditional and holistic food preparation as pioneered by Dr. Weston A. Price.
I’m glad I found chef Joan and I can highly recommend her to anyone needing help with dietary restrictions or simply wanting to learn more on how to prepare, cook, and eat food that is healing to the body.
