Welcome !

I’m Jan Steele, otherwise known as “La Goose”. I’m based in the South of France, in the beautiful Cévenne mountains where I am a Nutritional Therapy Consultant, cooking instructor, and allergy-friendly vacation host.

Broadly speaking, I help people to better use food as a means to feeling better in their bodies.

I accompany people who want to adopt or better adhere to a specific diet (GF, paleo, AIP) to improve their health; I run a teaching kitchen to help people reclaim healthful culinary traditions; I host individuals and groups to this beautiful region of France, ensuring that any and all dietary restrictions are respected to a “T” so that they can enjoy their holiday with confidence and peace of mind.

Words cannot express how important it is for all of us in the AIP community to come together, and to share a fabulous meal that we “didn’t have to worry about”, with folks who are on a similar journey.  You were an excellent example of the kind of care and attention that needs to continue to be put into the food served in our restaurants.  This was an extremely high-end luncheon — attention to detail, quality of tastes, thoughtful additions, just all of it incredible, as are you!!

We in Vancouver will miss you, that’s for sure.  But let us all know where we’re going in France for our next vacation!

Mind blown. Can’t stop thinking about it, thank you for your thoughtfulness and advocacy for healing diet options- hope the world gets many more like you! France sure is about to win the jackpot 😊

Feeling so grateful!! I was thoroughly impressed with the high end presentation, outstanding flavours, number of options and “courses” and then to have the opportunity to share it with an amazing group of ladies!!….And the price! Jan, you outdid yourself and it is so greatly appreciated! Thank you💕
