Lucky for us, this Warrenton, Virginia native and immaculate inventor of gorgeous dishes is now back home and based in Hunt Country.

You may have visited her Mother’s organic healthfood store, The Natural Marketplace, a local favorite. Ryan attended the Natural Gourmet Institute of NYC, as well as the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Health supportive, festive, organic, sustainable, foraged and local food is her world! She is a recipe writer, product developer, food stylist, and has consulted for plant-based restaurants in Washington state, New York City, Nicaragua, Munich, and Paris.

Ryan has appeared on CHOPPED, “Light makes Right” on the Food Network and co-hosted the finale episode of Joel Gamoran’s first season of SCRAPS on the A&E network. Lately, though you find her throwing a dinner party for 40 guests in a field, cooking for private clients, or working on her latest project of creating a kitchen and culinary studio in Hunt Country.

WEEKLY MEALS MADE SIMPLE

Her bespoke dinner parties are and customized Weekly Meal deliveries are great ways to get a health kick into your everyday life. “I’m finding weekly fridge fills are the best, it takes the pressure off of busy families that still want fresh and seasonal homemade food fare", says Ryan. “It’s also perfect for folks with dietary restrictions, or for healthful, nutrient-rich dinners for one.” Ryan believes that eating mostly plants is just a good idea. "Replacing the usual intake of dairy, bread, meat, and sugar with plant-based food is a healthy and energizing way to shake off the Winter weather and recharge your bod,” says Ryan.

SPRING CLEAN EATING DELIVERED

Next month Ryan is offering a ‘Spring Clean Eating’ package, which is a delivery service with 4 days worth of nutrient dense meals, snacks, elixers, nuts milks and juices to welcome the new season. Lovage & Co.’s 2019 Spring Clean Eating Package is May 14th -17th. Reserve before May 10th by emailing Chef Ryan at [email protected] . Just FYI, this is a great Mother’s Day gift! Cost for the 4 day package is $385.00 with tax and delivery included.

WHAT YOU WILL GET

“You don’t have to think about it like a diet or cleanse but rather a jumpstart! Fill your body with organic, non polluted, healthy, vitamin rich foods. Made fresh and delivered to your door, you will feel the sludge of the cold season slip away and turn into Spring”, says Ryan. Spring cleaning just got delicious!

Menu items for the 4-day package include:

-12 Vegan/Raw Gluten Free Meals - 3 Raw Green juices blended with nuts and fruits - 3 Chilled Green Tea Blueberry juice mocktails made with fresh pressed Bow hill Blueberry juice and mint -3 Vanilla Almond Milks with banana and kava kava to promote relaxing and unwinding before bedtime

TAILGATES, PARTIES, & FESTIVE GATHERINGS We love hiring Ryan for bespoke dinner parties, festive tailgates, and hunt breakfasts especially when going for an organic, plant-rich, and seasonal style. Some of Ryan’s favorite items for the upcoming fall gatherings are sliders, BLTs, savory scones, and a good crudite basket with a homemade herbed yoghurt 'Ranch'.

Tarts both sweet and savory are a must - she does them with all butter crusts filled with warming spices, stone fruits, honey, and brown sugar. Or go savory with caramelized onions, golden squash and sharp cheddar. They are fun as individual galettes or a make a statement as a large free-formed tart.

Chef Ryan’s signature is her “Platter Scape” which is a work of art - stacks of seasonal veggies, cheese, spreads, dips and accoutrement- fit for a crowd with all varying tastes and preferences. We adore one for a tailgate because it doubles a beautiful centerpiece and an abundant platter to graze on!

FILL THE FRIDGE FOR FALL As a private chef trained in integrative nutrition and skilled in cooking for specialty diets - think gluten-free, low sugar, vegan, vegetarian, paleo, ketogenic, hormone balancing, etc. Ryan can fill your fridge with health supportive family style meals for the week made fresh with local ingredients. Just send her an email or give her a call and she will customize a menu to suit your tastes, dietary restrictions, and health goals. It’s the perfect time for a Fall Cleanse!
