IN THE KITCHEN WITH CARISSA TANG

Tell us about yourself:

I’m Carissa! I have my Masters in Organizational Development and Management and am a certified holistic health coach. I enjoy traveling abroad, learning how to cook new recipes, spending time with animals, reading, and the outdoors.

How did you get involved in cooking?

After self diagnosing myself with Celiac Disease and diabetes and a few emergency room trips, I started cooking majority of my meals at home. Unaware and not knowledgeable with inflammatory ingredients, I sought to reverse my Celiac disease and diabetes the natural route by being more conscious and intentional with my cooking, only consuming grass-fed meat, no longer eating foods with refined sugars, and no longer cooking with seed and vegetable oils.

Describe your cooking style:

I have a very unique cooking style. I like to put my spin on traditional recipes or create completely new recipes. I prioritize flavor first and visually, usually my dishes are colorful. The ideas just come to me pretty quickly after no longer having brain fog, changing my eating lifestyle. Before, I would struggle to think of meals appetizing!

How did you learn about grass-fed meats?

I learned about the importance of grass-fed meats from Dr. Eric Berg.
