Meet Laurie
From Overwhelmed to Empowered
I am a registered dietitian and have been counseling people on nutrition for over 10 years. I have a lot of "a ha" moments with my clients, but things really come together when we get into the gritty details of all of the tasks and skills involved in cooking. I created CookBuddy to give more people individualized support - because none of us were born knowing how to cook. And not everyone has a country grandma teaching us all her secret recipes.
Aside from my training as a dietitian, I am a home cook just like you. I'm not a personal chef or professionally trained in a Michelin star restaurant. Just a gal who's first meal on her own was a frozen pizza. And yet, over the years I've learned that the secret to a happy kitchen isn't technical perfection—it's having the right support when things get messy.
I can help you feel more confident in the kitchen by providing genuine support and encouragement when it's needed most. You don't need fancy skills to feed your family well; you just need a partner who understands the reality of cooking at home.

THE COOKBUDDY WAY
My Food Philosophy
I am a registered dietitian and a home cook just like you. I'm not a gourmet chef or professionally trained. And yet, I can help people feel more confident in the kitchen by providing support and encouragement when it's needed most. I believe the kitchen should be a source of joy, not stress. My goal is to give you the support you need to trust your own hands.
