I’m all for cooking and eating with family, friends, and strangers, and supporting efforts to make food fair, healthy, accessible, sustainable, and delicious.

People doing great things with food…

The Los Angeles County Food Equity Roundtable is implementing a bold and comprehensive Action Plan to improve food and nutrition security and ensure our local food system is equitable and sustainable.

The L.A. Food Policy Council works to build a Good Food system for all Los Angelenos.

FEAST (Food-Education-Access-Support-Together) is a non-profit in Los Angeles whose programs support healthy eating, human connection, and wellness.

Our Healthy Habits project is a collaboration with Antelope Valley Partners for Health, who work to meet needs in their community to access healthy food and raise healthy kids.

Meat Free Mondays have great ideas on how to eat more plants, to benefit our health and the environment.

Michael Pollan has written beautifully about the history, culture, and politics of food.

An author and nutritionist I admire for her advocacy and policy work is Marion Nestle.

Suppers…

Hosted with my favorite cooking companion and fellow female in science, Madeleine McKinnon.
