When and how did you become interested in cooking with a focus on health and natural ingredients? I lived and worked on an organic farm in Arizona many years back, and I became enamored with growing vegetables, herbs and fruit, and eating really fresh food. It was there that I learned to really cook "from scratch" as well—everything from baking bread to soaking and cooking beans, making tofu, yogurt, and ghee. The first thing I did when I left the farm was enroll in school for Holistic Nutrition to further my understanding of how healthy food works in the body to prevent disease and heal illness.

Enlarge Credit: Sara Britton What is your process for developing a post? My process for developing post varies greatly. Sometimes it's a trip to the market, where I'll stumble upon some gorgeous looking veggie and it will psychically relay all the awesome things I could do with it. Other times, it's pulling up something from my garden, or a particular flavor I feel like tasting, or a texture, or a mood.



What do you draw inspiration from? I take most of my inspiration from nature, particularly the seasons and following the rhythm of deliciousness that cycles throughout the year. Traveling inspires me a great deal as well, discovering new dishes, flavors and techniques wherever I go. I also read a lot of cookbooks and read the odd food blog or two.
