Meet the Business Owner: Angela A.
Angela Anderson, President and CEO of The Hippo Kitchen, studied health-supportive culinary arts at The Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City and has an undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree from Houston Baptist University. After studying in New York, Angela went on to cook at the Michelin starred vegetarian restaurant Ubuntu, in Napa, CA. She then moved out of the restaurant kitchen and into the home kitchen, working as a health-supportive private chef with individual clients. It was in this role that Angela had the opportunity to cook for cancer patients and survivors, and became passionate about creating a prepared foods business that enabled people to support themselves with their food choices in every phase of cancer treatment. She then strategically created and launched The Hippo Kitchen in Houston, TX, home to the world-renowned Texas Medical Center and the most advanced cancer treatment in the world, in June of 2013.
