I know first hand that Christiane Marshall is an excellent vegan cook. I have found her to be willing to instruct on healthful cooking also. She has prepared food at many functions I’ve attended, offering multiple types of delicious vegan foods and plentiful servings. She is always helpful and engaging.

I have known her for more than 10 years as a trusted friend and guide to healthful living.

I had the pleasure of participating in the Try This First wellness event series, where Christiane Marshall—also known as The Healing Chef—prepared incredibly flavorful, plant-based meals for groups of up to 50 attendees. These events were designed to empower people to explore natural, lifestyle-based approaches to health—like nutrition, exercise, herbs, and supplements—before turning to pharmaceuticals when appropriate.

As one of the invited healthcare professionals, I had the opportunity to speak alongside others about services that support holistic well-being. Her mission was to prove that healthy, plant-based meals can be both nourishing and delicious—and she absolutely succeeded. Attendees raved about the food and often asked for the recipes!

Meals were offered free of charge, funded by generous donations, and prepared with the help of dedicated volunteers. The atmosphere was always warm, inviting, and beautifully decorated—Christiane’s attention to detail helped make each event feel special.

I’m deeply appreciative of the care, intention, and creativity she brings to her work. If you’re considering partnering with her for an event, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Christiane’s food is delicious and healthy. In our household we named her ‘Christiane, The Healing Chef.’ She knows how to make food taste good and be good for you. And that to me is a winning combination!

I’m totally spoiled when it comes to food! The Healing Chef is my mother. Most of my life I’ve had the privilege of eating the meals she prepared. My mom’s cooking has evolved and gotten even better than ever over the years as she learned new dishes and techniques.

Unfortunately, often when I go out to eat, the vegetarian dishes are disappointing due to the lack of flavor. I can’t help but compare any meal to what I’ve been used to- the best plant based food!

Anyone who has a dish prepared by her will not be disappointed. Also, she knows how to substitute for foods that might bother you, or you can’t eat.

My decision to invite Christiane into our home was what opened my eyes to the world of food choices we have, and the variety continues to grow. Before arriving, she gave me ideas for meals and asked questions to be sure she was including things we knew we liked, and excluding things we liked less.

She arrived with everything needed to prepare the meals and we watched as she showed us her creativity and skill. All I needed to provide was the storage containers. The meals were all wonderful and with her help, it gave me back valuable time to enjoy other things in life. To have healthy, vegan food just waiting for you when you get home, I can highly recommend her service. And you’ll make a new friend as a bonus.

Look what Healing Chef made for me in my home - kalamata olive hummus. She also made me butternut squash, stuffed peppers with quinoa, and stir fry with millet to name a few of the things. She came to my house and has made everything from scratch which is how I need to be eating. I don’t enjoy cooking so being gluten free has been difficult. Christiane Marshall consulted with me on my special diet, found things I liked and even did the grocery shopping! This is heaven for me. I’ve been taste testing along the way and everything has tasted wonderful! Interested in her services? Let me know!
