Heather Ciprani, Holistic Herbalist, Nutritionist & Private Chef

Food has been my own love language from as young as I can remember. My family was always in the kitchen making and celebrating food. I was fortunate to live in Italy and perfect my sauce. The first half of my career took me all over the world, where I immersed myself in all the culinary delights. My passion has always been cooking and entertaining for friends from a casual meal to 3-4 course plated dinners just for fun. I love putting together parties of all sorts from cook-off contests to pairings and, of course, the holiday meals are always at our house.

My style of cooking is truly food first focused, making sensational flavors with nutrient density, where I always only see empty plates. I want people to feel the love and comfort that my meals provide. We will forage and scour for the very best, regenerative and sustainable ingredients, supporting local farms and enjoy wild crafting delicious delights. I am not classically trained at a culinary school, nor by any means a Michelin chef, but I do appreciate beauty. I love the simplicity of timeless, effortless elegance in dishes and presentation.

"Heather was gracious to work with in my healing detox process journey, and what a journey it was! Heather was non judgemental, compassionate and gracious in providing all that I needed to get the results that I was hoping for. Heather is someone who has "been there" in order to understand where we are coming from.
A wonderful healer with a kind heart."

Anne-Marie Jones, Ontario Canada

“I have worked with Heather in two different settings, a private dinner for twenty-five guests for a corporate booking and also a progressive wine and truffle bite pairing that included six different small plates. At each event, the guests couldn't get enough! Plates were scraped clean and everyone raved about the delicious food and couldn't leave without seconds. We are excited to use Heather for our annual events along with offering a private chef inspired meal for wine pairings and offerings. Highly recommend her!”

Jenna W, Dundee, OR

“I have had the great pleasure of both working with Heather as a caterer/private chef and enjoying many of her meals. She is holding a unique space in the catering industry because she is providing Michelin level food with the comfort of home cooking and incredibly inventive seasonally driven menus. Her demeanor is lovely - warm, open, engaging and she is never hurried or stressed. It is unique to find someone who can pull off professional level cuisine that is both beautiful and delicious and Heather executes both perfectly. I would hire her for any event - formal or casual, plated or family style.”

Tracy K, Winemaker, Dundee, OR

“Wonderful experience with Heather. Her love for local ingredients made for absolutely delicious meals. She cooked 2 dinners for our group of friends and would highly recommend!”

Jen, New Orleans, LA

“Heather created one of the most delicious and lovingly coursed dinners I have ever had! As a private chef (+holistic herbalist and nutritionist!), she is able to create an inviting-food-centric-event. Heather promotes a narrative of joy and health, while making sure the atmosphere and education around wine and food feels decadent and approachable. Her food is smart and cool — and so is she! Highly recommend!”
