The Founder
Vitamin H is the private culinary practice of MaryBeth Hamel — a Certified Executive Chef and culinary nutritionist with over two decades of experience at the intersection of food, health, and hospitality.
The work is personal by design. Every engagement is built around the individual — their health, their table, their life.
Whether I'm creating a private dinner, developing a culinary strategy, teaching someone to cook, or rethinking the way they use their kitchen, I start with one thing: the person. What does food need to do for you? Nourish you. Bring people together. Make life easier. Teach you something. Celebrate something. Or simply be exceptional.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. That's the point.

The Approach
How We Work Together
There is no standard Vitamin H experience.
Every engagement begins with a conversation—what you're planning, what you need, how you live, what you love to eat, and what you want the experience to feel like.
From there, I build the right approach around you.
The work may begin with a meal, a kitchen, or a nutrition question. What connects it all is the same approach: culinary expertise, nutrition science, and a deep understanding of how food fits into real life.
Sometimes that means a beautifully executed private dinner. Sometimes it means rethinking the way you stock and use your kitchen. It might be a culinary strategy, a nutrition consultation, an intimate gathering, or an entirely new idea.
The service is personal. The food is exceptional. The details are intentional.

Ways to Work with Vitamin H
From the Vitamin H Table
What I'm cooking, learning, questioning, and thinking about at the intersection of food, nutrition, and human health.
I write about the science behind what we eat, the craft behind how we cook, and the ways food intersects with our lives. You'll find my food notes, culinary technique, nutrition education, and the occasional deep dive into the questions that keep me curious.
