I am blessed to know many inspiring people who do amazing, transformative, make-yourself-and-your-world-better work. These beautiful souls are invested in projects about food, art, justice, community building, and healing. I don’t get any kickbacks if you check them out, just the satisfaction that their influence might be broadening: brightening our little planet.

Do you ever post recipes?
I used to! I had a blog with a different name that talked about food and identity politics… I haven’t done any recipe development in a couple of years. But maybe I will start again! It’s a great idea for blog posts… Thank you for the suggestion!
