Nutrition Science and Health
Nutrition is a science based in biochemistry. Don't take advice from self-accredited influencers (or world leaders) without the creds: Expertise matters when it comes to your health. That's why I started this blog in 2011, which was largely retired during the pandemic. Some of my favorite recipes have since been compiled into a set of free e-cookbooks, and you learn about all things food and nutrition from farm to fork and beyond in my my newest book, Food and Nutrition: What Everyone Needs to Know.

Diet is the foundation of health, wellbeing, and longevity.
It’s true that you are what you eat, right down to each and every cell membrane. In fact, you are really what you eat, which is why how and where plants and animals are grown, and what they are fed, in turn impact your health and the world we live in, too.
Nutrition is a science based in biochemistry that studies how food impacts health, wellbeing, and disease. As a nutrition scientist, my mission is to help you improve your health and enjoy optimal wellbeing through what you choose for dinner. But guess what? What you chew isn’t just about you, it’s about how your choices impact the world we live in, people to planet. That’s why a lot of what you’ll find here on my blog talks about sustainability and green eating to protect our beautiful shared home, the earth, for your children and generations to come.
My blog includes hundreds of articles to help you put into practice principles of nutrition and sustainable eating. Most of my recipes mention the health-promoting effects right in the text. (See a complete list of recipes or peruse my food porn gallery.) Other times, I just focus on what you’re probably here for: the food! In those cases, know that what and how I’m eating always reflects principles of sound nutrition science and green eating, that is, Cooking & Eating the PK Way.
