  • About
When we started cooking together and sharing our food with friends and family, we found that they were impressed and curious about even the simplest dishes. People who initially didn’t think they would like our “rabbit food” ended up gobbling up piles of veggies because they tasted amazing. The comment we kept hearing was some variation of “this food tastes delicious, and it makes me feel so good!” We heard it time and time again, and it left us wondering, why don’t we all know how to do this?
The answer, of course, is that we never learned. We grew up in a time when processed foods ruled the day. We regularly ate foods in colors and shapes not found in nature without thinking twice about it. Dairy and meat consumption was steadily increasing along with obesity rates. At the same time, there was a boom in low-nutrient, processed foods marketed to us as health foods under the labels “low-calorie,” “low-fat,” and “all natural.” Advertisers promoted the idea that cooking is a tedious chore to be avoided whenever possible. In turn, we have the highest rates in history of chronic diseases that are preventable through a healthy diet and lifestyle.
