I have a passion for organic, seasonal food and this blog is an opportunity to share a bit of what inspires me. I believe in eating in harmony with nature because it’s the freshest, most sustainable way to eat. I am fortunate to live in the diverse agricultural region of the San Francisco Bay Area, where I know year round I can find delicious ingredients that have traveled a short distance from local farms to my kitchen. On top of being coo-coo over yummy food, I’m very interested in knowing why something I’m eating is good (or not good) for me. My thirst for answers has driven me to read and research on the subjects of health and nutrition. So along with the recipes I post, I will share bits of knowledge about what you’re eating and it’s health benefits. Bringing mindful awareness to how we nourish ourselves will in turn bring about vibrant health. I’ve been working professionally as a Personal Chef since 2005. In this forum I’m excited to combine healthy food with my other creative passion: photography. Please enjoy the glimpse into what goes down in the kitchen! Happy, healthy eating! Mary Redente
