Customer Testimonials

Iris is an extremely knowledgeable and friendly nutritionist. I've been to a couple of her workshops and got to learn some seriously fascinating things about food while getting to taste a smorgasbord of her exquisite cuisine. I'd highly recommend going to her if you're curious about simple changes you can make in your diet to make a significant difference in your life. Erik Croswell, Portland, OR

"Iris is a woman from Eugene that was raised on an organic farm and knows what nutrition is all about.  We had a five part course on several key areas of nutrition and healthy eating for my body.  Informative and easy to comprehend data.  We are now cooking once a week as she teaches me why, when and how to consume delicious organic food.  Easing off the accepted American diet and on to a sugar free, organic menu, has been much easier than I ever imagined. I highly recommend Sol Food Nutrition, Iris is a pleasure to work with." Steve Marchick, Portland, OR
