"Jonny Peiffer never ceases to impress me with his passion for food and his desire to share that passion with others. Through much study and long hours in the kitchen, many evenings talking to chefs and nutritionists, he has gained the needed knowledge and skills to fulfill his dream of creating wholesome, nutritious meals for people in their homes. Whether you follow a diet of clean, local, carnivorous, vegetarian, or vegan Jonny will be able to fill your table with meals inspired by global influences. 

 

 

I for one, and most people I know, have so little time, or energy, at the end of the day to walk in the door and cook something wonderful. Jonny, recognizing this, and so wanting people to eat healthy and achieve their dietary goals, began planning to bring meals and support to them. And now the Seacoast has the opportunity to allow him into their home and fill their fridge with meals easy to heat, eat, and feel good about. 

 

 

I am confident that Jonny will please your palate and inspire you to live a healthy lifestyle!

"Here's why I'm completely biased about Wise Belly after hiring chef Jonny Peiffer to fix a dinner for eight of us:
 

1. He served up one of the top chicken dishes I have ever eaten in my life. [I'm talking nearly 40 years of eating chicken.]
 

2. And this was in the midst of a five course meal in which the parts were all incrediblydelectable and complementary.
 

3. The food used in the meals was top notch with every effort put towards quality, including organic and locally produced when

possible.
 

4. Many of the flavors were unique which made each dish a fun exploration and a conversation piece.
 

5. Jonny was professional, pleasant, and informative as he walked us through each dish.
 

6. The timing of each consecutive dish was spot on.
 

7. Our prep and cooking areas and tools were taken care of and cleaned after use.
 

8. This all happened in the comforts of our own home - no driving, no parking, no hassle." - Christian Gompert, High-School Teacher & Soccer Coach at Coe-Brown Northwood Academy

 

 

"Jonny's food is as delicious and nourishing as his heart is kind. I can think of no one better to cook for your family: to feed their bodies, hearts, minds. 

 

Jonny approaches every project I've ever seen him take on, whether it is making music, helping a friend, walking on a long trail, or cooking delicious food, with a depth of consideration that most people would be lucky to lend to just one pursuit, and it shows in everything he does. " - Lauren Audet, Assistant Pantry Manager, Beach Pea (former co-worker); Maine Master Canner

 

 

"We had a wonderful dining experience with Wise Belly. Jonny created an amazing meal for 8 of us. And the best part, I could enjoy our dinner party rather than running around to make it happen. The courses were perfectly timed, the wine was fabulous and at the end of the night, Jonny left the kitchen spotless. Can't wait to do it again! Thank you Wise Belly for an unforgettable enjoyable evening in the comfort of our own home. A true luxury!!" - Mary Beth Marino, Dance Teacher & Choreographer at UNH and Portsmouth School of Ballet

 

 

"Working with Jonny has always been serene and productive. He is a peaceful person and totally dedicated to the craft. He combines science with love and experience to create beautiful food to nourish your soul." - Claire McHenry, Sous-chef at Anju, formerly Assistant Pantry Manager at Beach Pea (former co-worker)

 

 

"I got to be part of a Wise Belly dinner and I am so glad I was! Jonny prepared a 5 course meal with wine pairings. Everything was delicious. My particular favorite was the mixed bitter greens beet salad with goat cheese and blood oranges. (The almond cake with dulce de leche was a close second!) Well done, Wise Belly!" - Mary Ellen Hoerman, guest of client

 

 

"With the precision of a baker and the creativity of an artist, Jonny Peiffer has all the ingredients to skillfully whip up  healthy, creative and delicious meals. He puts love into everything he does which is, of course,  the most important ingredient.  You can hear it in his music and best of all you can taste it in his food.  Bravo Jonny!" - JoAnn Adinolfi, artist, illustrator, dancer
