She works with top nutritionists and doctors to create food to help her customers eat their way to their happiest, healthiest, most aligned lives.
You may have had chef Anne’s plant-based creations at Little Pine in LA; while Anne was Executive Chef, it was named Vegetarian Restaurant of The Year. Or maybe you’ve eaten some of her delicious baked goods at The Waverly Inn in NYC, or you’ve seen chef Anne cooking up a storm on TV, either as a guest on one of the national talk shows or on her own Food Network show Dessert First with Anne Thornton. She has been on the culinary scene, on both coasts, for almost twenty years. She now lives full-time in LA with her partner and their rescue dogs, Olive & Fezzik.
In November 2020, at the height of the pandemic, Chef Anne stepped down as the Executive Chef of NeueHouse and founded Áine Organics. She vowed, moving forward, to create only healing, whole-ingredient, plant-based food. “Once I fully comprehended the detrimental impact the conventional food system has on our health and the health of the environment, I dedicated my life to creating sustainable plant-based food. Now, every single bite of food I create helps to reduce climate change, increase the consumers’ health, and save countless animals' lives. A simple and delicious solution to so many complicated and unsavory problems."
