Hey, hey! I’m Shauna

I’m Shauna McQueen, MS, RD - a registered dietitian, trained plant-based chef, and lifelong teacher. For more than a decade, I’ve helped people connect with food in ways that feel joyful, approachable, and inspired.

My work has taken me from hands-on cooking demonstrations and mindful eating workshops to curriculum development and leading nutrition and well-being strategy in corporate foodservice. Across these settings, I’ve seen how food and cooking can bring nutrition education to life giving people opportunities to practice, explore, and build confidence.

I created Food School to help nutrition professionals bring that same approach into their work. Through Culinary Nutrition in Practice, I teach the culinary skills, experience design, and facilitation strategies that help turn nutrition expertise into engaging food-based experiences.

I also work with professionals and organizations to strengthen existing programs and develop custom curriculum, recipes, and resources. Whether you’re refining a workshop or creating an educational series,

I bring a dietitian’s knowledge, a chef’s perspective, and a teacher’s attention to how people learn.

When I’m not working on Food School, you’ll usually find me experimenting with sourdough, chasing after my toddler daughter, teaching yoga, or exploring new flavors with my family in Westchester, NY.
