More About

Tara Lanich-LaBrie

After healing chronic health issues and pain through connection to the plants, herbs and food, I was inspired to share more on the practice of culinary herbalism.

Everything I prepare and share is gluten and dairy-free, and mostly made with gentle sweeteners like maple syrup, honey and coconut sugar.

I wrote and photographed a cookbook called “Foraged and Grown” that highlights seasonal and healing foods that are infused with the flowers, plants and herbs growing around us.

Food connects and weaves us together, from seed to plate, and the lands we live on to the stories we share across the table.

Thank you for being here!

I cultivate relationship to the land I tend,

and listen to the stories it carries.

I live and work on the unceded land

of the Arapahoe, Cheyenne, and Ute Nations in Colorado.

I work with foraged and homegrown plants when creating recipes

for here and for my books, and my intention with this project is that we all form deeper connection with the natural world and the food we share, continuing to tend the Earth with reverence.

Tara’s devotion to her craft is palpable in everything she creates, and how she interacts with those who are fortunate enough to attend one of her classes, or eat something she’s made. The food she creates visually and emotionally reflects the beauty and intention that guides her. Not only is it gorgeous to look at, but to eat it, you will take in Love. Tara is a creatrix and what she makes is honestly magic and like nothing else I could imagine or have eaten before. The joy and wisdom she radiates when she shares her work with others is awe inspiring – when she talks about ingredients or recipes, it’s so authentically a reflection of who she is, what she loves, and a reciprocal relationship of weaving the plants, people, land, blessings, and our Earth together. I’m forever grateful to have been blessed with such beauty, love, and connection with Tara and the Earth through the food she creates and the classes she shares.

When experiencing the creations or recipes of Tara Lanich LaBrie, it’s not only my body that feels fed, but my spirit that feels connected to beauty, enchantment, and inspiration. When I experienced Tara’s Nettle Tasting I discovered a new way to relate to ingredients, eating, and what it means to truly nourish myself. Using Tara’s recipes from her book Foraged and Grown, my confidence, creativity, and excitement in the kitchen has grown exponentially. Tara is a gift to the culinary world.

-Chloe Redenbaugh, Herbalist

There is magic in her fingers and connection in her heart! Tara came to my house and connected me back with food. I’m on a restrictive diet and needed help getting certain foods in my diet and just getting excited about eating again. I felt like she listened intently to what I was after and asked lots of great questions. Then we cooked simple, delicious food together that was very satisfying and super healthy. She filled me with meal ideas and recipes and a broth that I know is healing me. The combination of her heart centered healing and her deep relationship with plants creates a gift in Tara like one I have never witnessed. Tara is truly amazing and gifted. If you are reading this, then you have found her. Don’t hesitate another second – she will really help you!

-Roxanne Frederickson

Tara’s magical abilities open up a whole new dimension of eating, nutrition, and plant relationships. When you eat her food, you feel like you are eating a gorgeous mini universe of love that blows your mind and your mouth! It’s like giving your spirit and body a sacred food bath. “Food” feels like an understatement, but when you eat it, it’s a truly awakening, heart-fulfilling, earth-connecting, energizing, soulful, and sensual experience. You can’t help but wonder how she does it, how something so amazing can be possible, and how the world would be entirely different if people ate and respected their food like this all the time.
