Meet Chef Courtney
I am a personal chef specializing in in-home, whole-food, vegan meal prep and vegan meal delivery in Houston for busy professionals and families who want to nourish themselves with incredible, high-quality meals. My cuisine is a reflection of my belief in the power of nutrition, my world travels, and my training under famed chef and restaurateur Matthew Kenney at the Food Future Institute. ​I love sharing my passion for plant-based food, and I find it incredibly rewarding to see how this lifestyle positively impacts people's lives. ​I can't wait to share this passion with you, too!
"If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff." - Chef Remy, Ratatouille
I like to think of health as the new wealth, a priceless asset that enriches every part of your life.​ Yet, in our fast-paced world, we're often up against processed foods or fat and salt-laden takeout, sedentary habits, food that's grown and raised in sketchy and sad environments, and sky-high stress. It's high time for an evolution in how we think about health and wellness, and that's why I ditched my corporate career to start Vegan Chef Houston.
I believe the secret to vitality starts with what we put on our plates. Nourishing, kind foods help us increase not only our lifespan, but our healthspan – so we can live longer, yes, but also live better.
I've experienced first-hand the incredible life transformation that a plant-based diet can bring, and my clients experience it, too. With a plant-based personal chef, you can make eating healthy an easier and more automatic process.
Your meals will be prepared with nutritious, delicious ingredients, and you'll feel great about the way you're eating. A healthy diet spreads into everything else you do in your life; I've had clients tell me they feel lighter, happier, lost weight, have more energy, and sleep like babies when they switch the majority of their diet to my plant-based meals. They also feel a general sense of wellbeing when the stressors of meal planning, nutrition, grocery shopping, prep, and cleanup are taken off their plates.

My philosophy is simple: Eat beautifully. Live well.
