Adrienne Lufkin is an experienced private chef, founder of Struesli Granola Redefined, and cookbook author known for creating recipes that are nourishing, beautiful and approachable. After years of cooking for clients with a range of dietary needs, she set out to create a better alternative to the sugary granolas she found on grocery store shelves - one made without added sugars or sweeteners, rooted in whole, functional ingredients, and designed to support everyday well-being.
What began as a personal solution inspired by her own health journey with Crohn’s Disease and chronic migraines, evolved into Struesli Granola Redefined, a gluten and grain-free recipe crafted with intention, flavor, and versatility at its core.
Since Struesli’s launch in 2023, Adrienne’s innovative blends have won numerous awards and can be found in over 300 retail locations nationwide, including Whole Foods, Erewhon, Lazy Acres, Citarella and more.
Adrienne’s culinary perspective was shaped in part on Nantucket, where she began her career and continues to draw inspiration for her seasonal, ingredient-driven approach to cooking.
Her new cookbook, Savor the Golden Hour: Nantucket-Inspired Summer Recipes for Every Table, truly highlights her philosophy:
“I think about balance when creating recipes. Meals that are nourishing yet indulgent, thoughtful yet effortless. Rooted in clean, seasonal ingredients and designed to be flexible, and easily weaved into everyday life.
This cookbook reflects the way I truly cook: planning ahead, adapting as I go, and creating meals that are meant to be shared and enjoyed without too much stress. At its core, it’s about making delicious food while leaving room for what matters most, time with the people, pets and places you love! It celebrates simple, beautiful food, a spirit of community and a laid-back elegance of New England Island summer.”
