Learn something new every day. I love, love, love oysters, but the star of this dish is actually the pink edible flowers… citrus begonias. Succulent crunch with flavors of lemon, cucumber and you grapes. Freaking finesse.

We are thrilled to welcome and introduce chef Andrew Johnson, our new Nourishment Program Director at Anneliese Schools. Chef Andrew will be managing the culinary program for all three campuses and our satellite farm, . He looks forward to building upon the School’s long-standing Nourishment Program, and believes in a whole-food approach to nutrition, growing our own food, choosing local food producers, and the holistic concept of foods as medicine.

Chef Andrew brings to this role over three decades of knowledge working in, and around, professional kitchens, higher education, healthcare, and local farms. He has an Associate’s Degree in Culinary Arts, Bachelor’s Degree in Hospitality Management, and an MBA with a focus in sustainability. He is also a certified Master Food Preserver from the University of California Agriculture & Natural Resources and holds certificates as Servsafe manager/instructor/proctor, and HACCP manager and aquaponics.

He is the Culinary Medicine Chef for MaxLove Project - which teaches cooking classes for cancer survivor families, and was employed as a chef in residence for The Ecology Center and managed the urban agriculture demonstration garden with the City of Irvine's Great Park @ the Farm + Food Lab.

Some of Chef Andrew's first initiatives include offering more school-made fermented items like kombucha, sauerkrauts, pickles, cheeses, and sourdough, more locally pressed oils, school-made bone broths and soups. He will also be joining students each week at Rebel Mountain, and offering family culinary workshops and education around fermented foods, sustainability, regional sourcing, pasture-humanely raised animals, healthy fats, and taste development.

I am honored and privileged to announce I have been hired as the Nourishment Program Director for Anneliese'S Schools and to lead the school system to successfully implement the Wellness Manifesto. The snack and lunch reform program. Anneliese is undergoing a transformation that will change the way we source, prepare, and serve our food. The snack and lunch reform project is to build a healthier, more sustainable food system within our schools. By achieving the following goals: ordering clean, nutritious, ethical, seasonal, and ecologically sound ingredients. Using whole foods-based recipes that are full of fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, protein, and essential nutrients to nourish, maximize cognitive function, and sustain energy levels among students and staff. Partnering with local farms throughout Southern California that provide us with the freshest organic produce, meats, and other specialty products; this practice not only supports our regional food economy, but it also helps to reduce our "food miles" - or the amount of energy required to transport food - thus lowering Our overall carbon footprint. Educating students, parents, and staff about important topics such as the impact of everyday food choices on our bodies and our planet.

The winds of change have altered our service model… I have discontinued the weekly meal prep option. I will be focusing on one-off farm to table catering experiences like this one from last weekend. Get at me if you want to schedule your next party or cooking class.
My business partner will remain dedicated to assist all of those in need of nutritional support.
