Nicole Centeno
Nicole Centeno is a French Culinary Institute-trained chef, cookbook author, mother and the founder and CEO of Splendid Spoon, a meal-delivery platform that offers 50+ ready-to-eat, plant-based meals. A Condé Nast alum, Nicole has always been passionate about food; well before founding Splendid Spoon, Nicole immersed herself in the culinary world where she worked at pop-ups, catered and taught cooking and nutrition courses at Columbia University It wasn’t until her first pregnancy in 2012, when Nicole decided to leave her corporate career to pursue food full-time. Like many of her peers, Nicole realized how unattainable it was to achieve a wellness-driven lifestyle with a demanding career and the day-to-day demands of being a working parent. This inspired her to launch Splendid Spoon and is the genesis of Splendid Spoon’s mission to offer accessible, nutritious and delicious plant-based fare to everyday Americans.
Today, Nicole and her team believe that the refrigerator is the ultimate medicine cabinet. Splendid Spoon is committed to providing the tools, food, and community resources for you to make plant-based habits attainable and feel your best, available online at splendidspoon.com. Nicole holds a bachelor of science degree from Boston College and is a graduate of the Classic Culinary program at the International Culinary Center in NYC. She is the author of Soup Cleanse Cookbook (Rodale, August 2016) and was named one of Observer’s 10 Wellness Entrepreneurs to watch. Nicole lives in Brooklyn, NY, with her sons, Grover, Caleb and daughter, Charlotte.
