Author, designer, consultant + Good Food Cooking School founder.
Heather Crosby is a recipe developer, menu and product consultant, and
an educator specializing in plant-based, gluten-free good food for all eaters.
She’s the founder of Good Food Cooking School and the author of YumUniverse and Pantry to Plate. A lover of all things plants, she can likely be found barefoot in her garden when she’s not creating, cooking, designing, or baking.
Heather’s GFCS courses and recipes are designed to make everyone at the table happy whether they love burgers
or broccoli.
100% plant-based + gluten-free recipes, but you’d never know it.
Heather is the author
of YumUniverse and YumUniverse Pantry to Plate.
Fun fact: she designed, illustrated, and photographed both.
Heather’s career began in Chicago as a graphic designer. Health issues catalyzed a necessary change in eating habits. After a lifetime of significant veggie phobia, she had to teach herself to cook more good food to feel better.
Using a lack of cooking know how (silver lining: no rules to follow) and some creativity, she started developing plant-based, gluten-free recipes that tasted like the comfort foods she grew up on (mac & cheese, ice cream, breads). In 2009, she started sharing these recipes online and she hasn’t stopped since.
After 15 years in the city, a desire to be surrounded by nature led her back to her historic college town where she continues to develop and share recipes and resources with Good Food Cooking School members.
Heather is also a plant-based, gluten-free consultant for food brands, products, and recipe/menu development.
She also does design work and consults on a variety of branding and other projects.
