About Jenna:

My name is Jenna Bos. I am a recent graduate of NTI’s Nutrition Therapist Master Certificate and Natural Food Chef programs. Currently, I am working as a chef for First Descents – a non-profit that takes folks affected by cancer on wilderness retreats. My goal as a chef is to empower the people I feed to achieve well-being through food that excites them and nourishes every part of themselves; mind, body, soul, and spirit!

I believe in sourcing food that is farmed, foraged, and raised in a natural environment close to home; free from pesticides, preservatives, and growth hormones. My recipes and ingredients are supportive of overall health and wellbeing and I create meals based on my client’s needs that taste amazing and are even more amazing for them!

I am passionate about the environment, culture, and creativity; all of which I embody in everything I cook! Nothing brings me more joy than bringing people together around the table for nourishing food and great conversation! I hope you’ll join me for a meal that feeds your body and your soul!
