Shelby Kinnaird

Shelby Kinnaird, author and former diabetes food blogger, loves to inspire people to take charge of their health through cooking. She spends most of her time in the kitchen and on the hunt for tasty new ways to prepare nutritious foods.

Shelby also believes in the power of conversation and connection. In our digital world, we don’t talk to each other face-to-face very much anymore. She looks forward to the day when people can cook, chat, and share meals together in person again.

Do you have Shelby's latest cookbook?

I'm going to have to stop saying I'm a terrible cook. With your guidance, I found out that I can cook!

Gail

Thank you! I had so much fun last night and my husband and I really enjoyed our dinner of appetizers. I’m so impressed that you were able to guide us through all five recipes in only an hour. I look forward to joining more Cook & Chat sessions!

Karen

I had my annual physical - my doctor said my blood work was the best I've had. I'm attributing that in part to your cooking classes. I LOVE the food and it keeps my blood glucose under control. Thank you!

Julie

As soon as I entered the video conference (in Shelby’s kitchen), I immediately felt welcome, comfortable and at home. This was a really fun, informative, and relaxing experience! Shelby’s classes would be appropriate for beginners, as well as experienced cooks like me.

Lynne

I wish you could have seen what I was eating before - I'm gaining a lot more confidence when cooking and have made some of your recipes several times. I make the green bean recipe every week now. So yummy!

Alison

Thanks so much for the cooking class … I loved it and dinner was delish! The kicker is that hubby said he liked it, so I’ll make it again! Great job and I can’t wait until the next one!

Cindy

My first Instant Pot! My first video cooking lesson! Shelby walked me through everything and it was wonderful! I learned the basics and she gave me the confidence to keep learning. I would definitely sign up again.

Colleen

Everything at the Cook & Chat was delicious. I brought the leftover soup and some muffins to work today and shared with my office mate. She loved it all! A suspected, my husband was a huge fan of the muffins and I will be making them again very very soon

Lorraine

The food was nothing short of FABULOUS! Everything was so delicious. My husband and I will be one of the first sign-ups when you start traveling, wherever you go. Thank you and YUM.

Paulette

The Cook & Chat was a lot of fun. And since we are rather isolated these days, it’s fun to interact with others when cooking dinner. The food turned out fabulous too. I love simple meals with big flavor.
