In our land of plenty it moves me to action to know that generally people pay little attention to what fuels their bodies. Eating only to stave off hunger or relieve stress barely scrapes the surface of the bountiful enjoyment and healthfulness that comes from a more conscious approach to eating. When eating becomes acts of nourishment and caring for others, magic happens.

As Chief Maven at The Good Food Mavens I am committed to unleashing this magic. Talented, skilled and passionate about good food, good everyday kitchen skills and good mealtimes, the mavens are ready to:

  • Work with families to make the kitchen the real heart of the home where they cook together and eat together more often
  • Work with farmers and companies to bring locally produced foods more easily to consumers and chefs
  • Work with companies committed to healthier food products
