About
Let’s Reach Your Goals Together
Hi, I’m Laura Allen, a chef and certified Health Coach, with training from the Culinary Institute of America and the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. The name “pinekitch” traces back to my business beginnings in 2013, experimenting with locally available food and flavors by throwing dinner parties in my apartment on Pineapple Street in Brooklyn. While working as a chef full-time, I established volunteer relationships with local hospitals, CSAs and food equity programs that began my coaching and consulting journey. Since pineapples symbolize hospitality across cultures, Pineapple Kitchen or pinekitch for short, captures my passion for nurturing through food and fostering a warm, welcoming environment for growth.
By partnering with me, you’re choosing a coach who not only understands the science of nutrition but also appreciates the art of creating delicious, healthful meals and the impact that can have on yourself. Let’s collaborate to build a foundation for lifelong well-being and a joyous relationship with food.
