Chef Hethyr uses Ranch Foods Direct meat, which guarantees no antibiotics, no added hormones, no preservatives, vegetarian fed, humanely raised and humanely harvested animals. Fish, the only meat not obtained from Ranch Foods, is purchased fresh from Whole Foods on your cooking day. Whenever possible, locally produced fruits, vegetables and other ingredients are used in order to support local farms and businesses and to minimize the environmental impact of long-distance food transport. Chef Hethyr also displays her green side by shopping with reusable bags, using recyclable packaging, composting, recycling and using environmentally friendly cleaning products.
