About Chef Lady Alswell Blankson

I'm Chef Lady Alswell Blankson — a holistic nutritionist, wellness chef, entrepreneur, author, and founder of Crown Royal Holistic Chef Services.

My journey started in an unexpected place: a type 2 diabetes diagnosis in 2012. It could have been my downfall. Instead, it became my turning point. I began researching and experimenting with food, fitness, and holistic practices — and discovered that food could be medicine. Cooking became my therapy, and today I manage my diabetes naturally while helping others reclaim their health, one plate at a time.

Drawing on my Ghanaian heritage, professional culinary training, and lived experience, I write and cook with one mission: to empower, educate, and encourage people to live healthier, happier lives. Whether through recipes, memoir, or mentorship, everything I create comes from the same place — the belief that healing is possible, and that our stories and our food both have the power to transform us.

My books span both nourishment for the body and healing for the soul — from The Diabetic Food Bible, a practical guide to eating well with diabetes, to Eclosed: Rescued From Within, a deeply personal memoir of restoration and strength.

As my motto goes: "Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food."

Thank you for being here. I hope what you find in these pages helps you on your own journey — toward health, toward healing, toward wholeness.
