Laurie Sodaro Gershgorn
Chef, Food Educator, Nutritional Consultant

For 11 years, Laurie, founder of Healthy Culinary Creations, brought healthy meals to families throughout Westchester County, NY and Fairfield County, CT. As consumers learn more about the importance of eating healthy, natural food, demand for Laurie’s personal chef services and other convenient meal options skyrocketed. So, in January 2017, she opened Good Choice Kitchen in Ossining NY. Private clients can still enjoy their weekly meal plans, while locals and commuters dine in the café or carry out freshly made meals. Catering and cooking lessons also available.

Trained at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts in New York City, Laurie has worked as a private chef since 2007.  Using her culinary skills, and knowledge of food, nutrition, and the physiology of the body, in concert with holistic nutritional theories and modalities, she helps her clients achieve wellness through the power of whole, real food, consumed as part of a customized, balanced plan. She empowers them, no matter their age or stage of life, to realize their own potential for following a healthy lifestyle based on their individual needs.

Laurie, a longtime advocate and supporter of local farming and sustainability, has also taken her talents to local school districts where she is actively involved in working to reverse the current school food debacle, by introducing fresh, healthy meal alternatives.
