Cheryl Chang is a chef and food educator who brings people back to the land through sensory play, intuitive cooking, and land-based culinary techniques.
Rooted in her belief that food is a pathway to connection, Cheryl’s work helps individuals rediscover the stories, textures, and nourishment held within ingredients. She designs out-of-the-box culinary experiences that invite people to slow down, engage their senses, and build a deeper relationship with the food they choose to eat.
Central to Cheryl’s philosophy is the understanding that an inclusive dietary space is not optional—it’s essential. She believes that how we honor diverse dietary needs shapes how we nourish ourselves, how we treat our bodies, and how we view our place within community. For many, dietary limitations can create feelings of burden or exclusion; Cheryl’s work actively dismantles that narrative. By creating environments where every body’s needs are welcomed and normalized, she fosters a sense of belonging that supports both physical and mental well-being.
Blending her global culinary background with her commitment to inclusive, nutrition-driven food culture, Cheryl creates environments where participants of all ages can explore, touch, taste, and understand ingredients in meaningful ways. Her workshops often begin long before anything reaches the stove—through mindful exploration of where ingredients come from, how they grow, and the communities that sustain them.

Cheryl provides private chef services to a select number of families over the years, carefully choosing those whose values align with her focus on family, nutrition-driven lifestyle changes, and expanding culinary diversity. She believes that food should be both nourishing and transformative, helping families make meaningful changes while enjoying flavourful, well-balanced meals.
Cheryl is well-versed in global cuisine and brings a deep understanding of diverse culinary traditions to her work. Her expertise extends to nutritional science and specialty diets, ensuring that meals are not only delicious but also aligned with individual dietary needs. Whether accommodating gluten-free, vegan, or other dietary preferences, she seamlessly crafts dishes that celebrate culture, health, and inclusivity.
PROCESS
Her process begins with an exploratory meeting to discuss needs, values, lifestyle, and goals. If there is a mutual fit, she conducts an initial 1-2 week trial period to ensure a successful working relationship.
