MEET THE CHEF:

One ofHeather Artripe’sfirst memories of being a child is dragging a chair across her Granny’s kitchen floor to stand on so she could help her cook. 10 years ago Heather started teaching cooking classes at Ozark Natural Foods and never looked back! She started to become obsessed with cooking and creating, focusingon honest, real, flavorful-all-on-it’s-own food, and local ingredients when at all possible.Whenshe is not cooking for fun, teaching cooking classes, or shooting Rooted in the Ozarks, you can find her in her own little urban homestead growing veggies, fruits, and herbs, canning and pickling, hanging out with her pack of animals, thinking of recipes, talking about recipes, etc. She loves cooking and loves food. And most of all, she loves creating it.
