Cooking together isn’t just fun – it’s also a powerful tool for kids, especially those with ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). 🍽️ In our Mommy & Me cooking classes, we create a safe, non-pressured space where kids can explore new foods at their own pace, build positive associations with mealtime, and gain confidence in the kitchen! It’s all about making food fun and fostering a healthy relationship with eating. 🌱👩‍🍳 #arvid #mommyandme #foodexploration #cookingforconfidence #kidsinthekitchen

Another pleasant and fun experience at this past Wednesdays Life Skill Development session making edible cookie dough for the holidays!

About Our Founder

Welcome! My name is Cynthia Madden. I'm a former corporate accountant turned CIA Chef Alum with an affinity for nutritional and medicinal food remedies. Inspired by my own postpartum healing journey, the plight of working motherhood, navigating the challenges of the sensory processing world with my child and educating future culinarians at my Alma Mater, I was guided to create Apex Kitchen Rx, a platform focused on holistic wellness and family healing with food at its core.

I hold a Certification in Postpartum Nutrition, a Certification in Plant Medicine from Cornell University, and I am a Culinary Graduate from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America located in Hyde Park, NY. Additionally, I hold a B.B.A. in Accounting from IONA College (now known as IONA University), having worked in niche sectors for Fortune 500 companies prior to my career change.

I'm beyond grateful to be here, sharing my knowledge and experiences with you. I look forward to walking this journey with you. See you in class!

With Love,

Cynthia Madden
Chef/Mother/Owner
