As Chef of the People, my goal is to make you the expert on your own body and empower you to make your own health decisions. It always bothers me when the people I pay for healing just recite information I could get from a book or think they know what is best for my body. Only you know what is best for you. I am simply an awesome guide with loads of experience that makes it fun and easy to figure it out. Forget paying some guru tons of money to fix you, you are your own guru! As the old saying goes, "Make you raw mozzarella, you eat for a day. Show you how to make raw mozzarella, you eat for life!" All the services I offer are based on this philosophy of giving power back to the people.

I'm a type 1 diabetic and when I was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer I knew that I needed someone with experience in both of these areas. Nathan is a genius at making this transition to healthy food and lifestyle fun and easy. He never preached or judged, he was a passionate and wise guide. He taught me how to teach myself! I can honestly say that I eat and feel better now with his food and lifestyle recommendations than before I knew I had cancer.

I would like to wholeheartedly recommend the delicious and healthful cuisine that Nathan Donahoe has prepared every day in recent months for my friend, Sandra, who has been fighting a tough battle against Stage IV cancer. I am writing on behalf of Sandra at her explicit request as her designated power of attorney.
Sandra's protocol for her cancer treatment has required 100% organic cuisine with extremely specific ingredients and nutritional requirements. Without fail, Nathan was able to cook and deliver exactly the right meals.
All the dishes that Nathan prepared were especially tasty and always fresh. He delivered meals promptly, and was responsive to last-minute changes and requests.
Nathan was a delightful, warm individual, and it was always a joy to have him come by with new scrumptious morsels. Even as Sandra has become bedridden and quite ill, she always brightens considerably when Nathan visits.
Sincerely,
Roger K., LMFT
As soon as I heard about Nathan's skills from my nutritionist Aajonus Vonderplanitz, I instantly knew I wanted him as my personal chef and Executive Chef for my health center. He is intensely dedicated to quality and I could always tell he truly cared about me and my clients. Anyone who wants to feel good while having the best time of their life should call him immediately.

I would like to highly recommend Nathan Donahoe. Nathan was the Co-Executive Chef for The Canyon, a rehabilitation center in Malibu, California. He was hired because of his knowledge and experience in nutrition and organic foods to completely convert our kitchen into an organic food program. Nathan was a diligent and responsible employee a. His other job duties included:
- Menu planning
- Accounting, Cost reporting
- Shopping at Farmer's Markets
- Nutritional Consultations
- Creating fun and healthy meals for clients with special needs (Crohn's, detoxification, eating disorders, vegetarian)
- Interacting and relating with clients
- Catering, large events
-Michael Cartwright, Owner of The Canyon
I watched Nathan grow as an individual and health-food chef for 3 years. When my non-profit organization, Right To Choose Healthy Foods lobbied Congress in Washington D.C. Summer 2007 to make Raw Milk legal nationally, Nathan enthusiastically volunteered as our private chef and assistant. He spent much of his time in the kitchen preparing exquisite meals as well numerous hours contacting state health department officials and lobbying Capitol Hill. His commitment was an important part of our success educating congresspersons and health departments, culminating with Representative Ron Paul co-writing and introducing HR4077 to Congress to make Raw Milk legal nationally. Nathan's enthusiasm and dedication to food and health is inspirational. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to better their quality of health.
