Here we go!

Hi! If you're reading this, I'm glad you found it. I am Sarah, Nutrition Coach and Chef. I am making a change and starting Nutrition Coaching. I have YEARS of invaluable experience - check out my bio for more info. What I want you to know is what you'll find here. I am building a community of people looking to get on track for a healthier lifestyle or maybe get back on track. I think we're all still recovering from 2020: too much sourdough, too much beer, too much fresh pasta and cookies No? Just me? Well, that was my 2020. Furloughed and eating my way through the shutdown. I know, I know it's been 5 years. Have you ever been to Egypt? Denial sure is nice! I am making better choices, but many of my Covid-era habits have stuck around longer than I would have liked. I know food, a little too well for my own good, and now I have added a Nutrition Coach certification to my arsenal. I can help you learn to make better choices, establish habits and eat better. What you will not find here, that's pretty easy. You will not find perfection. You will never see me in Lululemons with perfect hair and make-up. I'd rather spend time in the kitchen creating recipes or riding my bike. Life is messy - much like my kitchen. There's no make-up people or film crews. It's literally just me and three Boston Terriers behind this computer.

👩‍🍳 About Me

Hi, I’m Sarah Dingle, chef and nutrition coach — and food has been at the heart of my life for more than 20 years.
I began my career as a professional chef and spent years cooking for others in some incredibly busy kitchens — including seven years as a banquet chef at a thriving private club. The pace was intense, the food was beautiful, and I loved every minute of it.
Eventually, I stepped away from the line and into catering management, where I could blend creativity with connection. But in 2020, when the world stopped, so did the events industry. I was furloughed and suddenly had to pivot — that’s when a new opportunity opened up: becoming a concierge private chef.
That role became my dream job. I discovered the joy of creating meals that were not only delicious, but deeply personal — nourishing people in their own homes, in ways that supported their health and happiness.
During that same time, my own health journey was unfolding.
While the world baked sourdough and picked up new hobbies, I — a chef through and through — cooked and ate everything.
And then, I found cycling.
What started with a cheap mountain bike turned into a love affair with the open road. I quickly learned that fueling my body mattered just as much as training it. My passion for great food evolved into a passion for functional, intentional nutrition — food that helps you perform, recover, and truly feel your best.
Today, I bring all of that experience — decades in the kitchen, the creativity of a chef, and the heart of a coach — into my work with clients. I help people with dietary restrictions (gluten-free, dairy-free, and beyond) discover how to eat joyfully and live fully.
You don’t have to give up the foods you love — you just need to learn how to make them love you back.
