Isaac Buchanan

Isaac Buchanan, executive chef, and creator of Food-Med’s line up of natural sauces and pickles. With multiple businesses, the passion that drives him is evident and noticeable in each jar and dish produced.

“I love what I do and we’re trying to do something that will benefit our customers health.” Says the chef who has been perfecting his craft over the course of a decade. “The world is full of inspiration and flavors; we try and capture that in every jar produced!” Buchanan’s culinary career began in Northern California where he grew up in a diverse neighborhood surrounded by many family members who were business owners of restaurants and taquerias. This immersion into the culinary world sparked a drive that was nearly extinguished but came roaring back in 2021.

Like many, Buchanan’s journey had many destinations and making it through college was challenging, he knew that his path was not the ‘traditional’ route. He eventually ended up attending the top culinary school in the country, from there it was off to Napa Valley where he spent time studying, working, and learning in some of the best restaurants and wineries in the US.

Isaac stepped away from the day-to-day cooking to pursue a slightly different career path but holding tight to the sauce making and pickling techniques he learned over the years helped him keep one foot in that world. With a family behind him now, health is a major influence in what he does every day. “I’ve learned it’s critical what you put into your body and how you treat it.” Clean eating and living doesn’t have to be bland or boring. Food-Med’s line of products will be a staple in your kitchen.
