Meet Chef Ariana
Home Cooking Coach, Dinner Party Enthusiast, and Your Kitchen Cheerleader
One of my purposes in life is to cook really great food and help others do the same. After surviving off of ten for $10 TV dinners in my first year out of college, I knew I had to make a change to never put myself in that position again. Now, here I am helping others find opportunities within food - no matter the budget - to eat nutritious, yummy meals that take low effort and result in high rewards.

Let’s Get Out of the Kitchen Conundrum
Have you had experience with any of the following?
Have you followed a recipe to the tee and it still didn’t turn out right?
Have you looked into a full fridge and still thought that there’s nothing to eat?
Have you had food to cook at home and still ordered takeout instead?
Let’s Build Cooking Confidence
where great skills, mindset, food, and company meet
Ariana’s Home Cooking Coaching meets you where you are and helps you develop a closer relationship with food and cooking. I make sure that every curious cook who works with me receives the best experience; if you see yourself resonating with the following, we’d be an amazing fit to work together:
I want to “make food.”
I want to whip up yummy, comforting dishes for myself after a long day’s worth of work. I’m looking to transform leftover ingredients into something new and unexpected. I want to quickly and thoughtfully move throughout the kitchen, whether for a weeknight meal or dinner party. I’d love my food to bring out my happy dance.
Our Mission
Kent County is one of the most severely underserved communities in Tennessee. To combat this adversity, Project Sprout seeks to nourish our neighbors at the most fundamental level with healthy food options and a strong support network. All members get a portion of each harvest and surpluses are donated to low-income families whose work schedules prevent them from volunteering.

With ten gardens and counting, Project Sprout has seen a significant improvement in mental and physical health for all participating community members. Other than lowering obesity, blood pressure, and depression rates, the crime rate has also fallen. Our children are doing better in school, reporting higher grades and aspirations, and better job prospects.
Get Involved
If you live near one of our gardens, get involved to receive portions of each harvest. We accept volunteers regardless of skill level. There is a rotation in roles, but we’ll teach you all the skills you need to know. Teenagers 14 years and older can earn community service credits for school in addition to getting produce for their families. Donations are also vital to our growth, as we use them for seed, fertilizer, tools, and outreach.
