Inger Hoovestol Smith
Professional Chef, Meal Planner, Cooking Instructor
A native of Houston, Texas Chef Inger Smith has called Rabun County, Georgia her home since 1998. Growing up in a restaurant family, food has been a major part of her life, and she has devoted the past 20 years to discovering how to make "food that everyone loves to eat but knows they shouldn't!" into a healthy and delicious experience.
Inger was the co-founder and executive Chef of Smart Meals, Inc. one of the first low-fat, pre-packaged meal companies in the United States. She has lived in various places and has had the unique opportunity to work in the music and movie industry, cooking for celebrity clients in NYC, Houston as well as in Georgia. Inger has been a cooking instructor since the 1990's and while at the popular Houston cooking school, Le Panier, has had the privilege of working alongside such notable chefs as Guliano Bugiali, Marcella Hazan, Nick Malgieri and Joanne Weir. Along with her husband, Chris, they owned Inger's Fine Foods, a small restaurant in Clayton, Georgia from 2001-2008. At Inger's, she developed a reputation for several key recipes such as her famous Toasted Pecan Chicken Salad and the unending list of cakes and pies made from scratch (and usually without a recipe) every day.
Currently, Inger lives in Sandy Springs, Georgia. She home schools her daughter, teaches cooking classes and works as a private chef for clients in Atlanta and around the lakes of Rabun County. She has recently joined the practice of Nutritionally Yours and is excited about keeping people up to date on the latest innovations in cooking, eating and living a healthy lifestyle.
