We’ve been cooks for most of our lives, searching for new foods and new ways of being in the world through cooking. The kitchen is the spiritual center of our homes, and we look forward to sharing with you the joy we have discovered.

CRAIG KINZER

Craig has been a scholar, writer, university professor, and theatre director for more than 30 years. He’s been self-confessed foodie since college, when he used to rush home from classes to watch “The French Chef.” An inveterate traveler throughout his life, studying history, art, culture and custom– and of course, food–he’s eaten his way across much of the world, pestering chefs and cooks wherever he can.

PATRICK TULLY

Cook, meditation teacher, massage therapist, bicyclist and explorer, Patrick believes cooking is as much about nourishing the spirit as filling the belly.  Known by some as “National GeoPatrick,” he brings to the Chakra Chefs a refreshing global view of food.   His practicality, curiosity, and imagination in the kitchen will inspire you to try new and different ways of approaching your cooking.
