Lilly grew up between Algiers and Paris, where her love for cooking was nurtured in her mother’s pastry bakery shop and home kitchen. At the age of 8, the highlight of her time in the kitchen was licking spoons, pots, and pans of all the delightful foods and pastries prepared by her mother. Once in the U.S, she decided to return to school to rekindle her passion for cooking and baking, and graduated from the French Pastry School in 2006. After working at different hotels and restaurants, she landed a job at Whole Foods Market where she fell in love with healthy eating and healing the body through smart food choices. Lilly is passionate about health and nutrition and is committed to inform and empower her students to make better food choices and feed their body with the nutrients it needs for optimum function and self-healing.
