COOK HAPPY

Simple, no-fuss food. A fresh approach to nutrition. Support that actually sticks.

A Bit About Me

I’m Dorothy – nutritionist, food writer, mum of two, and author of Cook Together.

After 10+ years as a private chef, I saw first-hand how emotional eating, confusing diet advice, and chaotic schedules were getting in the way of real health. So I created an approach that’s rooted in joy, ease, and togetherness. Now I help people like you eat better without the stress, guilt, or overwhelm.

Testimonials

“Dorothy's cooking classes empowered me to stick with a diet that makes me feel great. I can now cook with confidence and I’ve got my thyroid under control for the first time in 15 years.”
- Megan

“I saw several nutritionists before I met Dot. Nothing stuck—it all seemed overwhelming and impossible. I look forward to my Healthy Dot sessions because she has a positive, supportive personality.”
- Terri

“One fun and informative lesson with Dorothy has profoundly changed my cooking! Dorothy’s lesson wizzed through multiple recipes, knife skills, healthy cooking tips and general kitchen knowledge... at a jam-packed pace.
What I didn’t expect was for all that information to seep into my daily life and just elevate my skills and understanding. Cooking with Dorothy in my own kitchen also meant watching how she navigated the space, clearing and moving things around in clever ways. All the things which to her are second nature, were super informative.
So, overall I learned new recipes, how to improve my daily cooking, knife skills, life skills and I had a brilliant time! ”
