The Fun Food Academy has the step by step strategy to help you eat healthy at home and sustain it, in just 6 weeks.
Let’s face it, if counting calories or following the latest diet trend was going to work for you, it would have worked by now.
THE TRUTH: You love food.
You might even say that eating is your Love Language.
You want to be health-conscious, even health-focused but not health-obsessed. You still want to enjoy a variety of foods, but it seems like to eat healthily, “they” say you can’t eat anything you enjoy.
Your goal is to be healthy, but every version of healthy that is currently being taught is full of “fake foods”, a laundry list of rules to follow and an even longer list of foods you can’t eat.
What used to be a fun and enjoyable experience, now feels like dancing in a minefield, being careful to follow all of the healthy eating “rules”. And quite frankly, you’re over it.
It’s time to make food fun again.
The problem with all of these diets is they are all about tons of restrictions and super rigid rules. And it’s just not working for you.
It’s about being informed about food, not afraid.
You’ve read the articles. You watched the documentaries.
Listen, doctors, nutritionists, dietitians, and healthy internet “gurus” can tell us what to eat, and why we should eat it. The facts and figures about poor eating habits, obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure can attempt to “scare us straight”.
So why doesn’t it stick?
Because when we get home, in the kitchen, to real life, we actually have to do it. Being told to eat healthier is one thing, actually living it out in real-time is another. There are major obstacles that can get in the way of the best intentions. Life can be crazy busy sometimes, that’s why the Fun Food Academy equips you with the systems and processes you need to eat healthy and enjoy doing it, consistently.
You need a practical approach to healthy eating. One that fits with the way you live.
You already know that what and how you feed your body will directly affect how you feel mentally, physically, and emotionally. You have already decided that you want to be proactive about your health versus reactive. You’ve witnessed others change their lives and even their medical conditions once they changed how they ate. Now you’re ready for your turn.
Hi, I’m Chef Evelyn.
In 2016 I was diagnosed with cancer and had to significantly change the way I cook and eat. To be honest, I wasn’t excited about it. I just knew that this new ‘diet ’ I had to follow was going to feel worse than the actual diagnosis.
My doctor told me, “Evelyn, you’re a chef, this should be easy for you.” Little did I know, but that one statement was the end to my frustration and the beginning of a new way of life. What if I could make delicious food and make it healthy without all of the fake meats, fake cheeses, and other weird substitutions? Furthermore, What if I could take healthy food and use my classical culinary technique to make it delicious to the point that no one even realized it was healthy? What if I just made really good food? What if I took what I have learned from over the past 10 years of teaching thousands of people how to cook and help them create a healthy eating lifestyle that was tailor-made for them and help them overcome the 6 main obstacles that keep people from eating healthy consistently. What if I could show others how to bridge the gap between delicious and nutritious, just like I had to do for myself?
That’s how the Fun Food Academy was born.

You know you can’t live a life that is only filled with kale, quinoa and cauliflower rice.
In case I forgot to mention…
I’m Evelyn and It’s my mission to make healthy food fun!
I first began cooking when I was just 6 years old and I began my first culinary business at 15.
Over the years, I’ve worked as a personal chef, caterer, cooking school manager, culinary instructor, resident chef, executive chef, pastry chef, food blogger, and brand ambassador. I’ve been blessed to have assisted various celebrity chefs throughout my career, such as Oprah’s Private Chef Art Smith, Martin Yan of Yan Can Cook, Food Network’s Guy Fieri, and The Chew’s Mario Batali. I’ve also had the pleasure of cooking for Grammy Award Winner Sheryl Crow, Food Network’s Giada DeLaurentis, Author & Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts, and New York Times Best-Selling Author, Movie Producer and Mega-Church Pastor Bishop T.D. Jakes.
I graduated from the International Culinary Schools at the Art Institute of Dallas, where I graduated with honors. I also hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemical & Environmental Engineering from Tuskegee University. And when I’m not cooking or consulting, I spend my time pretending to be a Quiet Storm DJ😂.
