Tracey’s cooking life started a the young age of 5. Baking for family and friends brought joy and she saw that cooking was FUN! Later at age 10, she made and sold Energy Balls to a San Francisco health store. She saw that healthy cooking was a life changer. Tracey’s mom was a health nut and taught her at a young age the importance of cooking veggies and vegetarian meals. At 15, Tracey had her first teaching experience and after being a Montessori teacher for over 16 years, she has learned to “follow the child” and really enjoys watching children learn. After 51 years of cooking and teaching, KCL offered a chance to combine three of her life long loves, healthy cooking, kids and teaching.
