About Chef Anna - Chef Anna Nichole

About Chef Anna Nichole
I do a little of everything — food, faith, music, business — and somehow still manage to keep my apron clean (most days).”
Hi, I'm Anna!🙋‍♀️
There’s so much to know about me, but let’s start here:
I’m a chef, biblical nutritionist, author, choir directress, and a whole lot more.
I’ve learned that life is too short not to pour yourself fully into what God has called you to do — so that’s exactly what I do.
My Food Journey
I fell in love with food young — so much so that I started culinary school at 15. By 19, my dad handed me the keys to my first restaurant (crazy, right?).
Since then, I’ve cooked for some amazing people — from Morgan Freeman to Chef Aarón Sánchez — but honestly, what I love most is creating meals that make people feel seen, loved, and whole. That’s why I started Dish Well Treats — to feed not just stomachs, but souls.
📖 My Heart as a Teacher & Writer
I write because I know how much words can change lives. My books — How to Get Answers Every Time You Pray… About Your Diet, Biblical Nutrition 101, I’m Stuck!, and my newest release Evangelism: A Lifestyle Beyond the Walls — were all born out of my own struggles, victories, and the lessons God pressed on my heart.
Each one is a piece of my journey, written to help others find freedom and direction. And now, I get to teach Biblical Health and Nutrition at Interfaith University. (Honestly, standing in front of a classroom, sharing God’s truth about food and health — that’s a dream come true.)
🎶 Ministering through Music
Music has always been my safe place. When I struggled with depression, anxiety, and self-hate, I wrote songs and God used that music to bring me out of life-threatening moments into triumph. Today, I’m a singer-songwriter who writes music to uplift and encourage others.
There was even a season when I lost my voice because I kept running from God, but once I surrendered my gift back to Him, I began to grow in ways I never imagined. Now I get to share that growth by helping others through music.
I’m also the Directress of the Priests of Praise International Choir (POPI), where I lead a family of voices who sing not just notes, but healing. Writing songs, leading worship, and creating something powerful together — that’s my heart.
🎤 Motivational Speaker & Teacher of the Gospel
One of my greatest joys is encouraging others with the Word of God. As a motivational speaker and teacher, I share real stories, biblical truth, and practical wisdom to help people move from “stuck” to unstoppable.
Whether I’m speaking to young women, leading worship, or teacherin the pulpit, my message is always the same: you were created for more, and God’s plan for your life is worth chasing.
🎨 The Creative Side of Me
Cooking, writing, teaching, music, events — I guess you could say I’m wired to create. I love turning ideas into things that people can taste, hear, or experience. Whether it’s a new cookbook, a community event, or a choir recital, creativity is how I connect with the world God placed me in.
I’m also hands-on with all kinds of creative outlets: dog grooming, roller skating, and jump roping (yes, I’m really good at it lol). I love staying active through boxing and dance workouts.
Music is another huge part of me — I write songs, sing, and play both acoustic and electric guitar. And while I think I can play the drums and piano, that talent mainly lives in my head (for now 😅).
Meet Izzy!
My sweet rescue poodle with the biggest personality! 🐾 She can be a little skittish at first, but once you get to know her, she’s the star of the show. She’s the cutest, the sweetest, and yes… she absolutely loves her hats (she rocks them like a pro 🎩💜).
Izzy isn’t just my pet, she’s my sidekick, greeter, and unofficial taste-tester. Honestly, if you ever meet us, she’ll probably say hi before I do! She loves food and people just as much as I do, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
🙌 Final Note From Me to You
At the end of the day, I’m just a woman who loves Jesus and wants to use every gift He gave me to help others. My prayer is that through my food, my music, my teaching, or even just my story, you’ll find a spark of hope, joy, and strength to keep going.

God is the foundation of everything I do. Every meal prepared, every song sung, every word spoken, and every project created flows from His wisdom and love.

Love at the Table
Love is the seat everyone deserves. My work is rooted in welcoming all people — to the table of food, to the table of fellowship, and ultimately to the table of God’s grace.
