Intoducing our New Chef!
Chef Jan Sailus

Mrs. Jan Sailus
Raising three daughters on a Vermont farm and several years of experience as chef at a Montessori school at Seattle Children’s Hospital gave me a deep appreciation of the importance of what we feed our children. Operating successful bakery/cafés, catering, and running culinary class for all ages taught me how to tailor a menu to include nutritionally balanced options, highlight flavors and textures and enjoy the challenges of kids’ taste preferences. Additionally, I am sensitive to and trained in preparing Gluten Free, Vegan, Nut Free and Dairy Free options.
Nutritional education is found in our food sources. I support community gardening, early stage Community Supported Agriculture and seasonal eating. I am involved in the “Let’s Move” campaign, “Eat Right, Right Here” and have blogged some articles for “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution.”
