About Insightful Cooking

Founded in 2018 by renowned chef and mindfulness advocate Sarah Mitchell, Insightful Cooking was born from a simple yet profound belief: cooking is not just about preparing food, but about creating moments of connection, creativity, and conscious living.

Our journey began when Sarah realized that in our fast-paced world, the kitchen had become a place of stress rather than sanctuary. Drawing from her 15 years of experience in Michelin-starred restaurants and her deep practice in mindfulness meditation, she developed a unique approach that transforms cooking from a chore into a cherished ritual.

At Insightful Cooking, we believe that every ingredient has a story, every technique has a purpose, and every meal is an opportunity to nourish not just the body, but the soul. Our comprehensive courses combine traditional culinary wisdom with modern nutritional science and mindfulness practices, creating an educational experience that goes far beyond recipes.

We've helped over 15,000 home cooks discover the joy of intentional cooking through our online courses, hands-on workshops, and carefully curated collection of kitchen essentials. Our community spans across 47 countries, united by a shared passion for conscious cooking and mindful living.

Whether you're a complete beginner seeking to build confidence in the kitchen or an experienced cook looking to deepen your practice, Insightful Cooking provides the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to transform your relationship with food and discover the profound satisfaction that comes from cooking with intention, presence, and love.
