Lynda Rexroat

Picture
Chef Lynda Rexroat worked as an Ultrasonagrapher (RDMS) at Children's Hospital Oakland from 1975 to 1992. In 1979, Lynda's interest in cooking moved her study at the LaVarenne Ecole De Cuisine cooking school in Paris. In 1992, her own health issues lead her to founding Apple Lane Bakery where she developed healthy French tarts that were low fat, sugar, wheat free & nondairy. In 1997, Chef Lynda began teaching children (4-12 years old), in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, how to cook healthy, sustainable food. In 2009, Lynda's concern of growing Childhood obesity and diabetes in America motivated her to create the Cooking with Kids Foundation.
