At Starkel Nutrition, food is at the heart of what we do. As a nutrition clinic, we believe in the power of nourishing meals and the joy of cooking. This holiday season, we’re sharing our team’s favorite gift ideas for foodies and home chefs alike. These thoughtful picks are perfect for anyone looking to elevate their kitchen game or discover something new.
Here’s what our team is loving this year:
- Eileen: Dedicated to empowering clients in Women’s Health, Chronic Conditions, and Metabolic Health, Eileen shares her love for Puerto Rican cuisine (She speaks Spanish!). Her top picks include Eating Puerto Rico: A History of Food, Culture, and Identity and flavorful staples like Loisa’s Sofrito and Spice Trios.
- Chelsea: Passionate about Women’s Health, Family Nutrition, and Intuitive Eating, Chelsea loves gifts that are both beautiful and functional. Her favorites include Brightland Olive Oil, Ground Up PDX nut butters, and an immersion blender for effortless soups and sauces.
- Tine: As our clinic manager, she keeps everything running smoothly and inspires creativity in the kitchen. Her must-have gift for bakers is a simple but essential tool for bread-making — a bench scraper.
- Maddie: As an expert in Sports Nutrition, Men’s and Women’s Health, and Food Sensitivities, Maddie knows the value of smart kitchen tools. She recommends a potato ricer, the secret to the smoothest, fluffiest mashed potatoes.
- Dani: Specializing in Eating Disorders and Intuitive Eating, Dani brings practicality and festive cheer to the table with premade marinara and pesto sauces. These freezer-friendly gifts are perfect for busy home cooks.
- Julie: As our president and founder. Her top picks include HexClad’s nonstick, non-toxic pans and iconic Le Creuset cookware like mini ramekins and cocottes. Bonus points if you pair them with a cookbook!
- Rachel: Passionate about Autoimmune and Digestive Health, as well as Gender Affirming Care, Rachel’s favorite is an electric whisk. This handy gadget is perfect for frothy drinks and perfectly mixed recipes.
- Riana: Focused on Cognitive Health, Healthy Aging, and Women’s Health, Riana recommends durable, stain-resistant cooking utensils that can handle everything from curries to tomato sauces with ease.
