Here in Portland, she offers nutritionally–customized personal chef services, menu consulting, as well as providing “naturally gluten-free” weekly recipe plans at www.realrecipeplans.com.  She is gluten–free herself and loves working closely with naturopathic physicians to ensure that her clients are eating well, and/or learning to cook for themselves. Chef Kimi is very excited to be sharing the fun secrets of a gluten–free way of life here at Charlee’s Kitchen!
