Meet the Chef!
Tanya Adkisson's passion for food began at an early age. Raised on a small working farm in Bozrah, Connecticut, she grew up surrounded by fresh produce, quality meats, and home-cooked meals. Those early experiences sparked a love for cooking that led her to pursue a degree in Culinary Arts from Johnson & Wales University, graduating in 1992. After relocating to Florida and spending years in the restaurant industry, Tanya's relationship with food took on a deeper meaning when she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2003. Through nutrition, exercise, and medical treatment, she discovered the powerful role food can play in overall health and wellness. This journey inspired her to learn, create, and embrace an anti-inflammatory approach to eating. In 2021, Tanya founded Tanya's Fresh Prep with a simple mission: to make healthy eating convenient, delicious, and accessible. Today, she prepares fresh, chef-crafted meals using quality ingredients, helping busy individuals and families enjoy nutritious food without the stress of planning, shopping, or cooking.
Life Outside the Kitchen
Family has always been at the heart of Tanya's life. After years in the restaurant industry, she spent many years as a stay-at-home mom, caring for her family while continuing to grow her passion for nutrition, wellness, and healthy cooking. When she's not in the kitchen, Tanya enjoys spending time with her family and friends, exploring the outdoors, traveling, visiting Florida's beautiful springs, and staying active through exercise, kayaking, and paddle boarding. She loves the beach, cherishes time with loved ones, and finds strength and joy in her faith in Jesus.
