“Having started as a Personal Chef for alternative, paleo, and gluten-free foods as well pastry goods, after many years of testing and tasting, I have an arsenal of treats that compete with traditional desserts and taste even better. I use low glycemic sweeteners, coconut milk and alternative oils to create Vegan, Paleo, Keto treats and many are Gluten-Free!”

Hello, I'm Teresa. Personal Chef and Baker for folks with nutritionally specific needs and food sensitivities.

I created Enlighten Your Palate in 2010 out of a need for healthier treats without compromising flavor and texture.

I prepare and cook nutritious custom menus made with options for people with food sensitivities and for Paleo, Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Vegan, and Keto menus for families and events.

Having started as an alternative, paleo, and gluten-free pastry chef, after many years of testing recipes I have an arsenal of treats that compete with traditional desserts and taste even better. I use low glycemic sweeteners, coconut milk and alternative oils to create Vegan, Paleo, Keto treats and many are gluten-free.
